[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 677784, member: 4353"] You can feed an ordinary bullcalf fat to look better to bluff the uninformed buyer, but you cannot feed quality into an ordinary bullcalf. That is the exact reason I started my registered herd, haven't bought a bull in the last 5 years, I still AI the select cows, though. I breed bulls for my own use and I breed the type that works for me. My registered herd and commercial herds run together except for the breeding season. If your cowherd is topnotch from a commercial point of view you can get away with using crossbred bulls, but if your cowherd still needs work, you'll be better off trying to get a consistant crop out of a genetically superior prepotent bull while working on the weaknesses at the same time. Nothing excites a feedlot buyer more than a really inconsistant group of calves because he knows he'll buy a few good calves cheaply because the poor calves will drag the price of the entire group down.
