Back to Basics a great Angus sire?

[Mossy Dell]

I wonder what folks think of this bull:

His maternal epds kind of amaze me. Including +39 on docility, –51 on mature cow weight, and +34 on maintenance energy reduction payback.

I found this bull when researching a few weeks ago. I haven't had time to follow up I would like to know what his mature frame score is. I am a huge fan of Minnie Lou Bradley she is a true cattlewomen.

If I hadn't sold everything I bred him to I'd tell you about him. :lol: I bought a bunch of semen on him. I used his sire on some customer cows that run in similar conditions to where my cattle run and we both really liked what we saw. He will cut down on the size of the cow though. If everything else you use for genetics gives you a 1,400 cow these daughters will stick out like a sore thumb.
He's being collected at Origen so if you have an ABS rep nearby you can order from them and save shipping costs.

I would like to know what his mature frame score is.

Maybe it's a secret... I couldn't find it... As a wild guess I'd say 3.5 maybe 4
I did find a son of his that is a young sire at Genex
bw 65 yw 1030 lbs with to me a surprising yearling frame score of 5.3

I think a certificate allows you to register offspring.

Mossy is right if you want to register a calf you have to purchase a certificate, the cost of the certificate varies but usually 30 or 40 bucks per calf. That is why we wait till weaning to register to make sure they are going to make the cut, if not saves me the cost of the registration and the certificate.

assuming that the dam is registered as well, of course
