[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1811926, member: 6291"] I would not use that bull. No offense but he will cost you money for years and years. People talk about getting docked for ear, but its not the ears, it's that skin under the belly. Once you keep a replacement out of him it will take years and years and years to breed it out. You will get docked a nickel or so every time you sell his calves. I'm in the process right now of culling out cows that produce calves with to much sheat. I can see the dock. They can have solid black calves, same sire, same good build just like that one, and that sheat will get me. Plus, it lowers fertility. You will see this a lot in the SG for sale. If you go to beefmaster or some of the other composite breeds there will be a lot more options as they have worked harder to clean the bulls up. [/QUOTE]
