best being relative against his peers in his breed, not necessarily against other breeds.
i think best should reward progress within a breed.
and they dang sure better not be crippled and fat.

I guess other than the "other" option the choices are limited & are you wanting bulls from both down in the yards & up on the hill?

Where ever the best bull is I don't care. Maines used to have somrthing like this till it ended due to the right people winning instead of the right bull. I recently bought semen on just such a bull. Hopefully he's not a Pha carrier.

What dates would one want to be in Denver to experience the best of the Bulls?

Operate with some stabalized, more predictable genetics and you won't have to wait so long to know.

Someone else will have the "best" bull. Even if he's able to be registered as a %Chi or Maintainer, he never will be. He'll be bought and promoted as the next great thing, just to sire club calves even though half of those calves will be heifers. In a few years, no one will be using him. Something else will come along, same song...

I think lautners just buy up what ever bull calves they can and promote them. I like alot of wades bulls. Quality over quantity. not saying that lautners dont have good bulls. i just think that with the way the industry is we dont need these all these so so bulls we need a hand full of the best ones.

if short bodied and dumpy tickles you.. Heck, I have a shorthorn calf that could look like that if clipped up right.. he's got 5 inches of hair... But I'm ready to steer him.

And this calf is 9 months old maybe 10. He doesn't look that dumpy. My 1st thought was he actually looked fairly moderate. Judging by shoulder height on those polls, he's not your everyday pud.....blackdiamond said:
The other thing is, this calf is a HW. A lot of those deals have some grow to them.

It's pretty easy to follow really, who has a breeding program that produces consistency? It doesn't matter what part of the industry you are in, that's the first place to start.
