[QUOTE="james coffelt, post: 1310195, member: 23203"] [b][color=#FF4000]EB, we are going to respectfully disagree. See my comments in your text[/color][/b] [b][color=#FF0000]We have a different philosophy here: We have a large group of cows. Every year, every late, open, problem, hard wintering, etc. leaves. 70% of the problems are taller, larger, poorer fleshing, etc. We avoid bulls which replicate those traits, and buy/raise bulls which replicate what remains in production over generations. Who is defining the ideal size, type, under this management and environment? The cows remaining in production. Who defines the size/type bull? The cows remaining in production. These are "adapted cattle". I am not that smart, they are. [/color][/b] [/QUOTE]
