[QUOTE="Hereford76, post: 831313, member: 7000"] you are right - i didn't read your post very well. i just scratched my head when you so nonchalantly said the he was only two and would not breed 40 cows for a few years. i haven't even looked at the link you posted. i could care less how he was raised, fed, shown. knersie points out his alleged structural weaknesses and i think for the same reason i pointed out what i did. a guy would like to think that herd sires or genetics that are laying the foundation for the future wouldn't have structural faults at the minimum. i feel like sometimes show earnings, ribbons, etc mistakenly get emphasized way too heavily in selection and somehow make genetics legit. just think if all the breeders of the past would have ruthlessly culled - where would the hereford breed be today? granted, that is easier said than done... but should be the way its done. if the bull really has a structural fault and the bull gets widely used that kind of stuff has a way of cropping back up for years to come. i just would like to say that ya maybe its your preference not to expose a 2 year old bull to 40 cows but its just the way you said it like its a given that a 2 year old won't cover 40 cows for a few more years. i guess maybe a lot of it is differences in worlds or parts of the industry too.
