3. What genetic makeup are we evaluating and searching for?

4. Who raises the bulls I might be interested in?

5. How many bulls does the breeder sell?

6. What kind of environment are the bulls raised in?

7. When will the bulls be sold?

8. How much information is available on the bulls for sale?
