First all, I think not exist perfect bull or perfect enough. Always we will need some thing to add to next calves crop.
Here we have a very limit semen offer, and our cattle yet show some close breeding here...so we can choose the bulls that will come. maybe to avoid some mistakes that I see ocurring is North America.
Yes, low birth weights are an important thing as we keep our cattle without close attention, and none one wish to stay a long night on the field waiting for an elephant calf as many times was mentioned on posts.
Our cows must to be 500 to 600 kg, not much more....I wish sale more fat cattle on a year than a big weight on two years. I sell meat - long body, deep ribbed animals - not DEP numbers. Also I not like much of Irish and asterisks (specially Illawarra descendants or Rodeo Drive) as they take off the posterior meat of our cattle - literally. And now, the Shorthorn breed is having some new search for commercial breeders as we got to let behind these kind genetics, and the ones that use it are having not success on bulls sales.
Due to these I not wish irish at very close generations and wish not asterisks (high birth weight and more body mantenence).
This is my bussiness and my market....native grass...no grain or artificial supplements....this is what I have in mind and am looking for.
