[QUOTE="SEC, post: 173929, member: 3241"] Masculine, bulls, large scrotal, feet (major priority) and the most important trait of all..a great mother. Good cows produce good bulls, to know nothing of the cow family or to have not seen the mother to the herdbulls may be a costly mistake. If you travel through enough herds you realize that there are cows out there that certainly shouldn't be the mother to herdbulls. All traits need to be middle of the road for breeding balance. The common addage of fleshing ability, excellent conformation etc is an absolute given. I am not sure what you guys see in the south, but in Canada there is a demand for power bulls, not freaks or extremes, old fashioned bulls with jam. In my mind there are not many breeders that produce power bulls on a consistent basis for the herd or even amongst a sire group. Geography seems to dictate where these power bulls come from as in the shortgrass country it is slim picking looking for power bulls, mostly because commercial producers are more bwt conscious.
