what was the age of the bull when it was measured?

I would use him if I liked him I have one here that measured 10 inch at 11 months of age 2 at 10.5 and one at 11.8 the 10 inch bull has the most eye appeal from a really effiecient 1100# cow sometimes I think people rely to much on certain numbers and not enough on the total package.Do you keep heifers?Kit Pharo has a star system for his bull sale 1 thru 5 stars 5 being best.He has them for fleshing ability,udder quality, dispositin and,calving ease these traits are more important than all the carcass data.Take some of those big frame carcass Bulls turn them out to work for a living they come back in in 60 to 90 days looking lioke a reservation dog all ribs and balls and it will take 6 months to put them back into condition.And bulls like that will sire daughters the same way can you afford those type of cattle I cant.I figure once my heifers leave the pen in the first spring they are now cows and need to make it on the same ration as the cows if the bull cant make it on the cows ration cut his head off..If you are driving down the road and make a mistake do you keep driving or do you turn around and get on the right road?
