[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1847899, member: 16453"] When selling bulls very few people that I deal with know anything about numbers however I will steer them in the right direction around calving ease as to me it is important for customer satisfaction that they get something suitable here as many don't live with their cows , might run 30 females on a rented block and only check them on weekends and will often have heifers calving. Some people are very astute and can make good use of the numbers but these are the minority in my case. I tend to be a bottom feeder when selling bulls, the quality is there but not the volume to attract the bigger buyers. When it comes to ultrasound scan data, I don't do it however I have sold at multivendor sales where they get all the bulls scanned before the sale which I think is useless as the bulls from the various vendors have all been on a different feed regime so they can't be compared yet buyers will look down the list and compare.
