[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 771032, member: 7509"] here is a big difference between "chasing" numbers and "using" numbers. If you are a breeder you can stack things to produce numbers, or you can use numbers, along with phenotype, etc, to make better breeding decisions. As a bull buyer, I am learning to look at a bull more critically but there are some very important characteristics of a bull that can not be seen: CED, IMF, REA etc. Numbers are another tool in the toolbox and are only useful when they are used, along with other tools, to give a more complete picture of what I am considering buying. jmho.
