Red Angus Sire Question?

[W.T]

That is exactly right Dun. We have found that high milk and high YW. Is hard on breed up and longevity in the desert.

How would you consider the size of his rib-eye? Below average Average or Above Average[/quote]

I would say he is in the average to slightly above-average area. His ultrasound data says more than 1 square inch of Ribeye per one hundred pounds of actual body weight. His REA APD is close to breed average. If a person is in need of a larger ribeye siring bull, why not just use a Charolais, Simmental or Gelbvieh? REA is one of the things those breeds do very well. Our cattle are bred more for maternal attributes that can be a component of a functional economical cowherd. We are not trying to breed terminal Red Angus sires. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel in a different color.[/quote]

Just curious as 1.16 sq inches per 1oo lbs would seem small to me.

We have been averaging 1.35 sq inches per 100 lbs on our maternal functional economical Red Polls.

Any heifer that doesn;t measure a minimum of 1 sq inch per cwt as a yearling goes to the feedlot. Had one a ocpule of years ago that didn;t measure up, she was only .975 per cwt. That doessn;t happen too often.

Sounds like Jovids genetics would be a perfect fit for your operation.
