[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1557542, member: 12520"] I think you're right about fat bulls, and I think it's everywhere. I prefer to buy bulls as calves in the fall that haven't seen creep feed and where I can look at the cow family and his contemporaries. Then I leave the bull with the breeder and pick him up after semen testing in the spring. Some breeders prefer that because that way they don't have to worry about the new owner pouring the feed to the bull over winter then complaining about condition, feet, etc. during the ensuing breeding season. Kind of win win. Up here in the arctic circle cows tend to be larger than what a lot of folks claim to like. But the way I see it is if they are profitable they are likely the right size. But there is always room for improvement, if your standing still you're being passed. [/QUOTE]
