[QUOTE="BA, post: 229177, member: 1319"] I was hoping to get by with my first answer. The cattle have a poor look to them. The bulls show signs of malnutrition. A lot of them are frame 2 & 3, but because they are not fed, they may genetically breed like a larger framed animal. They are mostly cooperator bulls, which I don't like, because I think it can dilute the quality and ideas of the breeder. It is just a way of increasing numbers. His sales in the 90's were relatively small and now he has 400+ bulls, you can't do that in a short time frame and keep the same level of quality (if there ever was any) The RA bloodlines originate mostly from Buf Crk Hobo who was at ABS, but Kit has stated that there are no good bulls in the studs. Most of his lines originated there. He also states that his bulls will actually gain weight on pasture, well I would hope so as small and thin as they are. I will say this he has a lot of good ideas about low cost producers and other views, but I think he has taken his program too far. There has been talk on the board about extremes, well these cattle are every bit as extreme as any program out there, just to the other side. I hate running anyone down, but these are my thoughts!
