NEMO | Well, you were OK up until "case in point", then it went off the rails. Performance tested many bulls? I'd say not. If you start with a large pool of weaning age bulls, the good ones, not the off steer mates, I'd bet a minimum of a third of them will fall out on growth alone. Most foot issues don't show up until after yearling, actually more after 18 months old. So you'd be willing to sell someone a bull that very well could fall out on growth or feet, just so you didn't have to feed him those extra months? Hmm. See that works for one bull herds like yours, or whoever you might sell to.... because at that level it really makes no difference. Big cow herds that sell pots of calves have to have a higher standard, whether you believe or even understand that or not, and I don't think you do | |
