[QUOTE="robert, post: 797254, member: 9171"] sometimes, to go forwards, a step back is required. To be specific about the two bulls inquired about, I avoided 155 for many years after having seen him in the flesh (what there was of it) and wondering whether I'd been shown an Angus or a black Jersey by mistake, he has become for me an acceptable individual in a pedigree, mainly through his daughters. For the most part I've avoided sons, and those paternal grandsons I've used have in general been disappointing. Traveler 8180 is an odd breeding bull, most all the calves I saw out of him directly, male and female, were frail, lacking in substance and bone, narrow made cattle, and yet he seems to have outbred himself through his sons 004 and Final Answer, which can give you some throwbacks to the type already outlined, for the most past produce more muscle, bone and sunstance than their sire and pat. grandsire T-71 ever did. Fertility was an issue with the 004's for us, and have mostly stayed away from Final Answer. To sum up, I don't tend to discriminate against either 155 or 8180 anymore, but I don't actively look to have them in a pedigree either. [/QUOTE]
