[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1845389, member: 637"] Sotex, our cattle have the ability to produce a good bull and then they have bulls that we would not dare put out with our good cows as they will only drag them down. I have had my share of those as well. I am not cutting your cattle at all. I too have sent bulls to the sale barn because they fell off the cliff somewhere along the way. Bulls are so expensive to buy now, and we hope that we can raise one. Find a good picture of bull the age of your bulls that you are looking at and compare them, See if your bull is as thick through the heart girth and flank. That bull you show does have a thick flank and a nice rump. But that front quarter carries a lot of weight, and if he is weak across the back and shoulder area, that is less meat in some of the fancier cuts like Rib eye. As long as you get a better bull than your best cow, that is always my goal. Otherwise, I am pulling me herd down and there are always really good bulls at a sale that they don't push as hard. Some they jack up at the beginning. Don't let that scare you. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to find a good bull. Well, maybe spend a hand and a foot. Ha-ha!! You want the very best that you can find and afford to keep moving your herd upwards. [/QUOTE]
