[QUOTE="BrandName1, post: 551427, member: 2612"] Hoss, I've been interested in the bucking biz since I was young and some on this board would still say I am but I learned by just soaking it in by being around some notable breeders. Conformation wise you want sound legs,feet and sturcture just like beef cattle. They gotta last on the road. I heard a respected breeder say that he didnt like bulls who's scrotum hung too low as he thought they tended to be lazy. Basically you want them tight made without too long of backs as they are prone to injury. But the #1 rule in the business is If he/she bucks or produces buckers thats all that matters. Genetics play a role now w/ the registry and abbi but there are papered cattle that dont buck period. As w/ the PB business pedigree is only holds that much wieght but gives you better %. As for a PB that sticks out. Brahman crosses are normally in the mix if you want to be tech. Also, fighting bulls lines have produced some good ones, actually one of the most notable lines goes back to a mexican fighting bull. Another great line looks to have some White Park in them. The business is still a preformance game so if your salebarn stud kicks the lights out he/she is welcome in the bucking world. And even more if they produce buckers too! Hope this helps, If you have other questions I can answer them or direct you to someone who can. [/QUOTE]
