[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 704606, member: 8978"] In my opinion the most important thing in buying a bull is the guy who raised him and how he raised him. Big names and pedigrees and a feed bucket don't really cut it with me. Knowing the breeder is honest, raises a practical product, fed right is more important to me. In the last several years I have been using black Angus bulls. Bought from a local breeder whose family has been in the bull business for about 80 years. Seeing his cows out working just about every week I know they are about the best looking cattle in the country. He doesn't take cattle to sales or shows, just sells them all off the farm. When he tells me how the bulls are fed out I know he is telling the truth and you can see it...they aren't shiny fat...just ready to get out there and go to work. Without a doubt you could buy bulls cheaper but you get pretty well exactly what he says the bull will do. If there is a problem with a bull he takes care of it right now. That is the kind of breeder I want to deal with. A practical breeder who runs his cattle like a tough commercial operation. [/QUOTE]
