[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 771052, member: 7509"] On first glance that would be a valid concern. However here is where trusting the breeder/source comes in. I trust Jerry Huth is not going to sell me a bull whose heifers only calve every other year. As I preg check every fall that would be very apparent. I trust that there is or was a reason for his dam progeny.... However if you look at the rest of his pedigree [url]http://www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i4.dll?1=232B21&2=2434&3=56&5=2B3C2B3C3A&6=5A5D5C235927232020&9=535250[/url] there is a lot of Feltons 3008, Coopers 9126J, Holdens 767, KCF Bennett etc in his breeding all of which are very proven cattle. Don't mean to argue here. I feel though that there is a balance of 1) LOOKING AT THE ANIMAL; 2) EPD NUMBERS, and 3) TRUST IN THE BREEDER which are all important in a bull purchase. Using just any one of the three may get you in trouble. Using all three should keep you out of trouble. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
