[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1120046, member: 20580"] You make some good points Alex. I realize not everyone has the same goals and "taste" in cattle. For us we're looking to breed more for maternal traits as majority of our calves become replacement females or sale bulls and the rest shipped off to the market so the carcass data is something we don't really deal with since we don't have feeder calves. Obviously if your goal is to breed the best feeder calves then the perception changes. Just looking at the maternal traits and phenotype Revolution fits exactly what we want, his females are long with good depth of rib and pretty good thickness and they have great udders. I get that there are operations out there that he may not be what they want but as far as someone saying they won't try out non-cert bulls I think they are missing out on some quality genetics because there are several out there that are just as good as the bulls you'll pay $100 a cert for and from the progeny we've seen from other programs he's a pretty well-balanced bull. Again though, to each and his own you could put 2 bulls side by side and depending on what a breeder is looking for you could get 2 completely different opinions on what they think about them.
