[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1592098, member: 37967"] I get where you are coming from, and you made some good points. Where I'm coming from, and perhaps I'm too abrasive, is that I want to make sure that I'm not passing the buck. I realize that if a bull doesn't perform, and hence a producer's cows and heifers don't settle, that the economic hit is real. You can't go back and capture that lost time, and money spent on open cows. The idea of a smack on the rear, and saying "he's fine" when he REALLY isn't fine, is what I'm trying to avoid. Call it what you want, but I do my best, as I'm sure you do, to make certain that when someone gets a bull from us, he is in the best shape I can deliver him, and that he is ready to work and get the job done. Imagine buying a new tractor and it breaks down a week after you buy it, right ahead of hay season, then you find out that the dealer knew it would break down. That is what I avoid at all costs. As I am sure you do as well. [/QUOTE]
