[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1735183, member: 37941"] I think this is the modern seedstock reality. Both breeders and AI companies can comb the data and find outliers. The bull may be in some commercial pasture and they buy the bull just for the potential genetic merit in the EPDs/DNA. It's my understanding that there is a bull that sold initially for not much fanfare, potentially had some fertility issues, perhaps was returned, then ended up in an AI catalog with some outstanding "numbers" and was promoted heavily (I was at one of the seminars -- though they didn't mention the initial issues). In 2021, the bull was in the top #15 in angus registrations. [/QUOTE]
