[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 145085, member: 1900"] I just can't take it anymore - I have to say something - [b]What you look for in a bull depends upon your production goals.[/b] For example: A producer who wants to raise commercial calves to sell for beef will look for higher than average weaning weights (among other traits). A producer who wants to raise replacement heifers may look for calving ease paternal bulls that may have higher or lower milking ability, weaning weights, or yearling weights. It depends upon what he/ she wants to add to their herd. If you want to raise calves just to show the kids / grandkids and to sell and are an absentee owner, look for calving ease direct bulls (among other traits). It all depends upon your individual situation and goals. Do you understand what I'm getting at? What is your production goal? [/QUOTE]
