[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 1209452, member: 8629"] My definition of a multplier is Damar ([url]http://www.damarfarms.com[/url]). I have nothing against this approach to cattle raising, just not my cup of tea for my own operation, plus my pocketbook is not that deep. Plus their sales are a great opportunity to see what the bulls of the month can produce and you get to see large sire groups together. Dun makes a good point. I can't stand black and white pigeonholing like this. The above listed programs use their own bloodlines and outside bloodlines that they feel will suit their breeding philosophy. Bulls on both sides either prove themselves or wash out. I don't consider them multipliers. Those that consider themselves "breeders" have to face the fact that they need the multipliers and the big operations that will use some outside genetics so they can afford to sit back and see how these bulls pan out and reach that 75% accuracy. All the different breeding philosophies deserve each other's consideration and respect as long as they are doing a good job at what they set out to do. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
