[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1773956, member: 14585"] #1 I look at what the buyer wants, a calving ease angus bull bcs he works off the farm and not a high priced bull. As I said, GAR breeding and he looks it. Top 2% marbling which GAR breeds for and many hate bcs its antagonistic to stoutness. Lot 10 lacks the stoutness of lot 5 who looks like a bull, but I'd not recommend to someone looking for calving ease. Love 'em or hate 'em GAR cattle do have a long history of performance which is why they have loyal repeat buyers and lot 10's top 15% $ weaned bears it out. But yes, it's true, 94% of the time calving ease bulls will be on the bottom in a show ring vs sales arena. As for not being able to find anything good to say about his physical appearance, I think you'll agree he has a good demeaner and when I scrolled the video 1/2 way down to focus only on his gait and not be distracted by what you may not like, he has a long proportional stride and tracks straight. The downside of being in a pinch buying at an auction is it only takes one other bidder looking hard for a calving ease bull and he might not be as affordable as I expect. That's where sale order can effect prices. Hopefully that other bidder will have filled their need before he enters the ring. A lot of times I could've had a great buy, except for that dang one other bidder. :) [/QUOTE]
