Doctor Harris after studying over your posting...mainly the part about BEEF PRODUCTION...ive changed my mind. I dont think the bull will work for that. Theres plenty of good homo polled...homo black carcass bulls out there to use. So why breed to a dairy bull?? So thanks mainly to you...Im taking him back
MERRY CHRISTMAS all!!!!!
Tapeworm-You have no idea how much your decision to return "Spot" has pleased me! For a while there I was convinced that you had discarded all of your knowledge regarding Phenotype, Genotype, Crossbreeding Techniques, Beef Production and just good ol' common sense. But this last post has restored my faith in you! I did notice though that you have trained "Spot" to keep in step with you whether you are heading West or East! And you are absolutely right! There are a plethora of Homozygous Polled - Homozygous Black Carcass Bulls with acceptable EPD's in Production, Maternal, Carcass, Ultrasound, and $Value Traits to satisfy the MOST discriminating buyer, so that even a NOVICE in the Beef BUSINESS can readily perceive the wisdom of adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions by Breeding Beef Cattle to Beef Cattle! I am proud of you, Tapeworm! O-O-O-H-H R-A-A-H-H! And MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and "Spot!"
DOC HARRIS
