[QUOTE="simme, post: 1824112, member: 40418"] I purchased a yearling simangus bull in 2009 at a breeder's yearly bull sale. I remember that he was a good looking bull and that the AI stud that owned his sire included progeny photos of that yearling bull and two heifers in their 2010 sire directory on the page showing that sire. I recently came across that AI sire directory. Here is a picture of the handsome young yearling. [ATTACH type="full" width="376px" alt="1698498985058.png"]36418[/ATTACH] I paid $4500 for him which was a lot of money for me in 2009. Just a yearling, we put one cow with him that fall. By breeding season the next year, he had developed a very long outside claw on a back foot. He was able to breed 3 cows with his long claw before he went to hamburger heaven. Moral of story is that it takes more than good looks to make a good bull and that good feet are very important. I don't trim feet, but trim the neck just behind the ears. I was disappointed in my poor selection. [/QUOTE]
