[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 641531, member: 13"] I'd have to disagree with some of these comments. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to cut a certain percentage of your bulls. Especially if they've never seen your herd. All bull buyers are different. Some want tall bulls, some want short bulls, some want calving ease, some want cheap. And some of them don't know what they want until they see him. We've been raising Angus for awhile and we don't cut any of our bulls. Not all of them are sold as registered animals, but we try to keep the contemporary group together through testing. It's not a cheap method; taking a bull to the sale barn when you've got several hundred dollars in him for testing hurts. All of our cows are generations deep in performance cattle. I expect every bull born here to perform well. They don't, of course, but I have hope for every one and will give him the opportunity to perform up to his potential. But if you get a reputation for selling cheap bulls, it may be difficult to ever charge more, no matter how good your cattle get. Good luck.... [/QUOTE]
