[QUOTE="CattleHand, post: 592745, member: 6534"] Bigbull doesn't have the worse logic as hillsdown pointed out. When you breed your cattle you always strive to get better genetics but I agree most closely with Aero. I think you guys are just comign from different sides of the cattle business. Being large scale commercial and breeding smaller herds of pure breeds are fairly different in how they operate in my opinion. If your large scale you may be breeding cattle that make just a fine calf to be sold and fatten but their off spring may not be the best to keep for a bull to use to breed future stock. Also as someone else stated youve never seen a calf out of the heifer yet, she could be a poor producer. Thats my 2 cents. Of course like bigbull said if you do know the genetics you coul probably make a good decision off of that. [/QUOTE]
