[QUOTE="East Caney, post: 491465, member: 2960"] He seems to be an okay bull. People do love dark red. Sometimes you can sell that just like you can sell black. People buy it just because...it doesn't weigh anything, it has no quality about it, but people will surely buy it. Don't know that I'd have this bull any more than I would Black Granite...but as I always say, do what you think works for you. If it doesn't work, a foundation genetics breeder will have a good bull to sell you. :D I don't know much about Kentucky weather, but I'm sure you could benefit from crossbreeding with Beefmaster bulls. You'll benefit from the same hybrid vigor that any cross will provide. In addition, you'll be using genetics from quite possibly the most maternal-oriented beef breed in the business. If you want the birthweights associated with English breeds and weaning weights associated with Continental breeds, give Beefmasters a try. Beefmasters are chasing weight and losing the advantage of birthweight...and we aren't chasing birthweight and losing the advantage of weaning weight. It's the best of both worlds. And if your cows will be raising calves in Summer temperatures above 85 degrees, you'll like the benefit of Brahman influence. Here's your "bad quality" which is the perfect expression for this thought: Some bull calves, that are exceptional, will have a bad sheath. Those that do should be turned into exceptional steers. The bad is that he won't be a bull (or shouldn't be), the quality is the steer calf that you get. Pounds = Profit. EC [/QUOTE]
