[QUOTE="Flacowman, post: 1282708, member: 7676"] Clubby cattle are so mixed up, other than a few common denominators it's hard to do any genetic evaluation other than looking for pictures of other calves out of a sire you're considering. When you're using a bull who is 3 or more breeds on a cow that is 3 or more breeds (that may be completely different breeds) whos pedigrees have been selected purely on phenotype for multiple generations, there's next to no genetic predictability to be had. That being said, many of the more heavily used bulls are known for certain traits. Steerplanet.com has a lot of discussions on bulls and show cattle. Same format as this site, just clubby focused [/QUOTE]
