[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 814529, member: 1683"] Maybe I am looking at the opposite side of the mirror - - but it strikes me from reading these first few posts that you are all misunderstanding my entire viewpoint! I am not condemning the use of, or the investigating of, or the perusal of BULLS, - ANY or ALL bulls! I [i]AM[/i] questioning whether anybody really knows or understands the [b][i]causal[/i][/b] justification of utilizing all of the techniques and knowledge that has been compiled throughout the many years of effort and work by so many people in attempting to [b][i]improve[/i][/b] the SCIENCE of breeding seedstock Beef Cattle! It is an Art and a Science, and it will NEVER reach the point of perfection with any person. Just looking and inquiring about specific animals is NOT the answer to achieviang success. It entails a lifetime of deep, serious, and extensive thought, planning and investigation of many facets of selection processes [b][i]before[/i][/b] Bull "A" greets Cow "C"! :wave: . . . Not just by "looking" at any particular bull (OR cow), but by delving into their complete, total, and unadulterated qualities which, combined in total, and mated to females (OR bulls) which are eligible, qualified and worthy to be considered [b][u]improvers[/u][/b] over the average of the breed do we stand a better than average chance of being PROFITABLE in a very tough BU$INE$$ ! Some 'hint' that Billy Bob across the County maybe -might have a bull that is 'purty good' aint gonna' get the job done! It takes knowledge and dedicated work to achieve success. I hope that ya'll don't misunderstand me! :bang: :bang: DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
