[QUOTE="bse, post: 1208812, member: 13989"] As a breeder you need to do your homework, look at calves, wet 2 year olds and make a judgement based on that or ask folks that have used these bulls, not just the first picture in the book. That being said if you dont use a few of these bulls you could quickly be left behind, as CP says a name on there goes along way in selling seedstock. if your in a commercial setting for terminal calves dont worry about all that and pick something with good growth or whatever you may need. The great thing about the straws is that you can use things that will compliment what you have or change whatever you need to change. So to answer your question its a good thing im my opinion. Ron i think show animals and the ones going to feedlots are two totally different things and totally different breedings, and i think you are correct in the environment can effect decissions made on bulls if your in FL you dont want the bull that holds hair along time, you need something that sheds off well, so it all goes back to homework.
