[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 172887, member: 1017"] What are your goals for your 50-60 calves? Do you sell breeding stock, show stock, or at the salebarn? Online is a hot name in the Hereford show world right now. How does this son look phenotypically? The mating of online and this bulls dam may have been done for show purposes and not really worrying about EPDs. One thing I would note is that if he weighs 1900 lbs and isn't yet a 2 yr old, I would say he has some genetic potential for growth. You said he had about a 100% ratio on WW and 97% on BW so he must not have been a spectacular grower at first. Having the the actual weigts at yearling and weaning would be very helpful to go along with the ratios. I'd also want to know why the owner was selling him as a two yr old. Was he not good enough as a 1 yr old to sell? Did the owner want/need to use him for a yr before he sold him? What do his progeny look like that are on the ground, if he has any. If he doesn't, why not? Sorry to answer your question with so many more questions. $1500 does seem like a pretty fair price for an Online son if he has any potential at all. You wouldn't happen to have his registration number would you? Maybe a pic too [/QUOTE]
