[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1788001, member: 39180"] The problem I am running into is not enough purebred breeders or they have not introduced great or newer bloodlines or the donor cow isn’t great the condition of the bulls are not great. Obviously you’d want a bull to work out in the pasture and not be fed grains everyday. Down there it can break the bank just up keeping their condition. One breeder did tell me that if the clients wants a pasture bull he will wean the bull off grain 2 months before handing him over to the buyer and graze the bull on bad pastures. Another buyer did tell me of course this is hearsay that a buddy of his brought a great looking bull and now he’s bones and skin. It had something to do with where he was raised and the location he was taking to he didn’t adapt well. Guatemala it’s either cool or hot depends what part of the country, the topography changes plenty. [/QUOTE]
