[QUOTE="Northern Rancher, post: 837631, member: 5898"] If we went to multisire pastures I think the athletic, fertile bulls would rise to the top simply because they'd sire the most progeny. There is getting to be a bit of 'faintheart' syndrome in Angus cattle-I'm picking on them because that is mostly what we run-a bit of adversity in some lines and they sort themselves out very quickly-feeding to the EPD is what I suspect might be the cause. High maintenance cattle are fine if they are traded amongst producers with a similar mindset-they are pretty much an unmitigated disaster when you try and utilize them in a bit tougher production enviroment. Alot of jobs we try and do for cattle they are capable of doing on their own and thriving at it. If I provide good water and ample forage they better damn well be able to produce at a profitable level. [/QUOTE]
