[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 677482, member: 1863"] KNERSIE, you are absolutley right. I have tried to convince my neighbor to buy quality but he thinks that it is foolish to spend over 600.00 on a bull so he buys his from sale barns. His latest bull looks more like a cow than a bull. Last fall we took our calves off to the same feeder calf sale on the same day. My calves brought .20 per pound more than his on average. We both sold about 20 calves at that sale. My calves also outweighed his by probably 40 pounds each and were a month younger. He could have more than paid for a quality bull with the money he lost on that one sale day. He has decent momma cows but the offspring is ruined by his bull choice. The bad thing is that he is in partners on the bull with the neighbor on the other side of him. He breeds in summer and his neighbor uses him in the winter. The bull never gets any time off. I may post a pic on here one day showing this shining example of seedstock if he comes close enough to the fence. My bull has him pretty well buffaloed. [/QUOTE]
