[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 507149, member: 1683"] I am watching the sale right now on Satellite. They are all going for high dollar money! The first bull sold for $72,500, and the average about now is around $10,000. Good, strong top lines, depth, hindquarters and thickness. Good ratio's and moderate milk EPD's. "Funnel Butts" are seen very seldom in this offering. Once in a while one will pop up, but as strong as those genes have gotten to be in the Angus breed in the last twenty years it is difficult to overcome that phenotype tendency. But wise breeders saw the problem six to eight years ago, and it is beginning to show in the improved hindquarters that this years crop of yearlings are showing in the sales. HOWEVER - we need to watch that the females don't get TOO big as a result of leaning toward thickness and width. It is a "Catch 22" problem to seek perfection in ALL traits! . . . .without focusing on "single trait selection" thinking. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
