[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1565325, member: 14585"] Yes he is an impressive individual. But looking at him I had a realization about what is wrong with how we in the beef industry buy semen. We are shown photo after photo of 4-5 yr old bulls with semen for sale when IMO we should be asking/demanding to see group photos of the offspring of the A.I. sires for sale. This is directed at sellers of A.I. sires/semen... I don't sell 2 yr old steers. I don't care what they look like as mature animals. Show me what matters to me. What do his calves look like 30 days after weaning? What do they look like entering a feedlot? How many days does it take them to finish? At what age do they finish and what do they look like when finished? I'm not buying the darn bull. I'm buying his offspring. Show me what I'm buying. Society averages a selfie per day, there's no reason not to have pictures of the actual end product. [/QUOTE]
