[QUOTE="novaman, post: 145385, member: 2744"] I will never understand how spending large amounts of money on a bull will improve the herd. I know a cattleman that will sit at the bull sale and wait until a bull gets bid up. He goes after the highest priced bull simply because he thinks a big price tag equals big calves come weaning time. The last time I checked the cows have an equal amount of influence as the bull. If a group of cattlemen were to study a pen of bulls, they would probably all have a different opinion as to which bull was the best in the group. When I go to a sale with the intentions of buying I will sit down with the EPD's in front of me. I study them and highlight the bulls that I feel would be best for my herd. Then i go to the sale and find those bulls in the pens and look them over. The bulls that look the nicest to me will be the bulls i bid on when they come in the ring. They might go high and they might go low. I'm not going to let a nice bull go through without bidding on it just cuz it's not going for a huge sum of money. [/QUOTE]
