[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1451112, member: 24016"] I understand your points, and they have real merit. But, who said this bull is for the show ring? The semen company. They will also say that certain bulls are calving ease, when their use in herds clearly says they are not. Just because of what a semen company put in an add in attempt to sell units, doesn't mean squat. I am very involved in the show world, and have never even heard of this bull prior to this, much less seen its offspring win anything significant. That in itself tells me that those so called show breeders are not as dumb as some think! I will use a Limi breeder I know fairly well as a perfect example of a breeder who wins in the ring and gets the job done in the pasture as well. Look up Spring Creeks Cattle Co. Bart and Bob and family are some of the best cattlemen I know. They expect their stock to work for them in numbers that most people in the upper Midwest cannot fathom. Their cows are in groups that number in the hundreds on seriously hilly terrain and are not babied. They raise calves that have growth potential and longevity. And yet, somehow, they won the cow/calf champion title at junior nationals last year! They don't have climate controlled coolers and a team hired just to run the show string and clip and fit. They prove that an eye for phenotype, a good handle on EPDs and an in-depth understanding of pedigrees along with good husbandry practices can make a for a herd that can get it done in both the pasture and the ring.
