With his "numbers"-Milk +44, EN$ -$33.22, MW +78, MH +.9-- (if they are anywhere close to being correct)- I would have to consider the bull a terminal sire and definitely wouldn't keep any daughters because of the knowledge that those types historically haven't been able to stay in the herd with our enviroment/management practices.....

The most overated bull on the market today, they can be too big, too little, all across the board.

I spoke with a repeat bull customer this spring - he wasn't interested this year - till he found out I had one by Upward. He drove down and bought him. It was a nice bull too - he wasn't just buying a name.

I saw some exceptional bull calves from him. Naturally they were from a really good herd just north of Sacramento, CA, but they were exceptionally nice.

At $40 with 60% conception rate, the semen is a little high for me. And with his milk and $EN, he is surely a terminal sire. Looks like a son of his would add grow to your herd. He surely seems to have the growth.

we have used a bunch of him over the last couple of years. The first year i used him, i didn't like the calves much at all at one to two months of age. So i didnt use him again. then we weaned the calves and they were some of our best. So we went back to using him. They are born really long and lanky and lighter boned, the older they get the better they get. They can be a little bigger framed and some will have a higher tailhead set than i like but overall they are very solid calves. They are also really easy to market, which is a huge plus.

So your oldest are yearlings? Have you bred the heifers yet (if you kept any)? How was fertility? If you have calved his daughters, what are they like as mothers? Udders?

Saturday I saw 6 yearling heifers out of him. Very nice looking heifers. They were used as "models" in a class we had through our local association on picking replacement heifers. The breeder seemed to be high on them. Myself.....I would like to see some balancers out of him

i know this is kind of out of date but i just found this topic and i have to say that is one nice bull! our first bull that we started out with was a half brother to him (same sire) and his daughters were nice! we purchased a couple daughters of sitz when were beginning as well, we line bred them to their uncle and those were some nice bull calves out of that mating.

i know this is a little late on the response time, but our females are wonderfull out of him. fertility seems to be great, small udders with a great shape to them. I am very excited about the one we kept as replacements.
