I believe we only ever saw one picture of the Angus bull EXT and one picture of his mother NBAR Primrose 2424.  Kinda think he sold enough semen off of one picture.  How many pictures of the original Heatwave has there been? Once the first round of semen is sold, the resulting calves will do most of the pr, good or bad.
 I agree, most of the people buying semen on the show cattle sires don't want to see them in their every day clothes. when it comes to the purebred true breeding cattle that are also of relevance to the commercial industry, they had better be able to take a smokin mature picture slicked out or forget it.  The baby pics are fun to look at but lets see the real product as a three year old.

To date I have not seen a picture of Debull but people used him and he has produced some pretty good offspring. ONe of our best cows was a Debull.
I think this debate could go on forever. WHen you are young things seem a little more black and white. The world is a little more ideal per say. As you grow older you are able to see the gray in things and it doesn't bother you especially when you are looking at it in your hair every morning.

  IMO there are getting to be less & less true cattle PPL that can read cattle without them being all fitted up. The days of going the the sale barn to buy cattle with Dad & Grandpa are pretty much over with. I like to look at cattle in an environment other than the show ring. Good cattle are good and poor cattle are poor. Almost everyone that feeds cattle anymore have a list of order buyer's doing their bidding for them. Technology has changed the way that we look @ cattle also.

  Jody you can think and do as you like, but you are hurting yourself and your reputation by the way that you are approaching & presenting some of your opinions on this forum. I know that you think that it is your opinion and you can do as you wish, but the PPL on this board are listening to what you are saying & more so the way that you are saying it & honestly, sometimes it lacks the respect that these promoter's deserve. Hope that you take my opinion in the vain that  I meant it. Brent

I think that taking pictures of your cattle is kind of like taking pictures of your kids.  Some folks take pictures all the time, some very rarely - it doesn't mean the kids or the cattle are any more or less deserving, or that the parents or owners are any less proud of 'em.  Another parallel tends to be that the more of 'em you've got (kids or cattle), the less pictures you seem to take.

That's a pretty big spread when you don't know wether you have 200 head or 300 head. Do you buy & sell feeder calves or something to have that much variance?

Yea , when the 1st kid arrives you take a pic of everything (& before the day of digital cameras that got expensive) they do . By the time the 3rd kid arrives you either don't know where the camera is or you figure you have a pic of the 1st one doing the same thing so why bother. ;D Now if I could get my wife to think that way.

We keep all of our heifer calves, and sell the bulls as feeders..  that and I'm 5 hours from home and grandpa and family will sell as they please.. basically whenever feed bill comes.. so in tern, I have a good idea... but don't know for sure from a day to day time scheme...  Let me think-- I'd say we're right at the 250 mark today.. right in the middle of 2-300

but then again, we have 80 heifers to calve at any time... and so I'd say we could be up as high as 300!!  I don't talk to home every day..
