[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 704427, member: 13"] Well said. I've talked to lots of bull buyers over the years. Very few of them can actually tell me what they're looking for in a bull. They just know it when they see it. Different buyers like different things in bulls. No one size fits all. But, as a breeder, you need to be sure that you're not selling a bull that would hurt your reputation. I think we could sell everything we raise, but if a bull doesn't meet certain standards, we pull the ear tags out, return his papers to AAA, and haul him to the sale barn as a generic black bull. Even if we sold him cheap to someone only wanting a cow freshner and everyone was happy with the sale, the guy driving down the road and seeing that bull and his calves every day only knows that the bull came from our program. He doesn't know the price or the understanding between sellers and buyers, he just knows where that bull came from and that bull will represent, in his mind, our breeding program. That's not a good thing. [/QUOTE]
