[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 1568763, member: 9002"] Glad to hear he can track down heifers in a feed yard pen. And I trust the person who told me about his feet. I don't know Musgraves, and haven't been to see their herd. I do like the looks of some of the bulls that come out of the operation via video and pics and in one case I saw him in person (Aviator). But from what I have seen of many sales and in many AI studs you are totally wrong. Buyers will buy bad footed bulls and pay a lot of money for them, those buyers include the major studs, and they will continue to market them even after it is apparent that they have bad feet. I could list you a few that I have seen in person but not trying to bad mouth anyone, just making a point. Have a look at some of the old AI catalogues where they used to do genetic type summaries, or have a look at the AAA foot scores - you will find some heavily used sires that are very poor footed. And like begets like - so there are a lot of poor footed Angus cattle running around. But as I said in my previous post the foot quality a person needs in their operation is specific to their own situation - so some of these poorer footed bulls won't be a problem for some operations if they have other redeeming qualities.
