This was posted on another thread, however I feel it is important enough to establish it on it own merit.
I have a question that I would appreciate being answered by ALL of the very knowledgeable Breeders and Producers on this Forum. There are experienced Purebred AND Crossbred Breeders who contribute to these posts, and I respect their thoughts and opinions very much.
Would you Ladies and Gentlemen please give me your unbiased opinion of what you consider the absolutely OPTIMUM Collection of Traits and Characteristics which you would accept for a Bull to be approved and acknowledged as being close to PERFECT as a TERMINAL Sire?
In your assessment, please include the MOST desirable EPD's - describe the MOST desirable phenotype which he should possess - and how his progeny should PERFORM and GRADE as a finished product, either on the rail, or in the meat case of the retail store. Please don't hold back, or hesitate to express your deep, heartfelt and honest opinion.
I have a DEFINITE purpose in asking for your help with this subject, and I hope that you will really just - let it ALL hang out! Tell me your honest to goodness true feelings.
Thank you very much!
