[QUOTE="purecountry, post: 197548, member: 2306"] Gentlemen, it's not the actual numbers that are at the centre of my focus. My point was their approach to marketing to these stats. Think about it - in their footnotes they brag up the bulls with the most growth and performance. AND, if you continually push the bar for bigger and bigger yearling weights, meaning more and more growth, you will inevitably increase the size of your females, when those super-growthy bulls sire daughters in your herd. Yes, I agree that a little more groceries would make the same bull go from 1100 to 1300. My point is that their focus is on more and more performance, [b]which is the type of selection no sustainable commercial operation can tolerate.[/b] [/QUOTE]
