[QUOTE="dun, post: 125548, member: 34"] Just as in everything else, there will alwasy be extremes when people first start jumping on bandwagons. Too many bulls are being sold that should be cut and single trait selection will alwasy ultimately be a loser. We had a pen of calves last year that the feedlot told us not to worry about the YG4s, he admitted to holding them way to long. Who knows, maybe the black deal will end up hurting the cattle industry in the long run. Extremes in marbeling seem to also generally have a negative affect on fat. Butthere are a lot of bulls available that are the outliers and provide marbeling, ribeye and low backfat. I also wonder if more of the problem should be layed at the feet of the cow herd. A bull can;t fix everything. If you have a mixed bag of cows with widely diverse traits, no one bull is going to work on them all. Just my persoanl thoughts on the subject dun [/QUOTE]
