[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 833460, member: 1683"] I have been reading these posts on this thread with great interest, and have come to realize that a slip of the "pinky finger' can result in a classic misunderstanding 'war' where none exists. I have experienced situations similar to this several times before on this forum, and today, Mother's Day, I have decided to let my past thoughts on this thread, and the subject at hand, speak for themselves. At the moment I don't feel up to attempting to go into minute detail to explain minutiae that is really obvious anyway. I will comment on the pictures of your bull, cmf1. These three pictures of him exemplify [b][i][u]exactly[/u][/i][/b] why decisions regarding seedstock selections should [b]not[/b] be made from pictures - [b]ONLY![/b] In this particular case, they create a "Conundrum". ("...a puzzling question or problem"). He presents an "ambiguity" (having two or more possible meanings - not clear, uncertain, indefinite, vague, obscure). I feel convinced that he is the same bull in these three pictures because of the number "3" and other markings on his hip, but he certainly gives the appearance that he is two different animals - the different time lapse period between pictures notwithstanding. All in all, I have certainly seen worse herd bulls, but not knowing the phenotype or genotype of the cow herd, there are no definitive conclusions at which to arrive insofar as mating suggestions are concerned. Happy Mother's Day to ALL. (If I don't get outside and eliminate a few weeds in our yard - NOW - before our Family, et al, arrives for a Happy Mother's Day experience, ol' Doc is going to be in big "Happy Day" do-do)! Bye-bye!
