keep an eye on her. Doesn’t sound like she was really in heat to me. Palpate her next time before wasting a straw and verify you have tone. The uterus should be firmer and stand the cervix up.

This depends on your time available. I’d never do it because I just can’t catch them all. I breed on natural heats when I see them but after that I utilize TAI & I feel I get good results. My clean up bulls on the other hand get dam near perfect results after that so I like that combo. That’s...

On my first use I got 3 out of 5 to have an ai calf. One really nice bull out of a mentor daughter and one really nice heifer out of an intensity daughter. The other was a bull calf out of a 6i6 daughter that generally has the too tall too narrow type and she did it again so that was...

I like what I’ve seen of them but I will have a better idea when I get them off the mountain. I only have a few. I’ll respond again in a month or so.

People are going to need to know what you are trying to achieve to answer that. I’m confused about the eggs & your Bull breeding.

https://selectsiresbeef.com/bull/angus/mcr-horizon-081/ I’d use this bull from select. You should get some hybrid vigor but you need better carcass qualities if you want buyers to go after your calves. If you just want big go with Fortress. Both are $20 I think.

Select Sires bulls: E W A Peyton. Sampling on a few smaller frame cows Deer Valley Unique on most cows Sure Fire on Heifers I want to pick up some High Prime and Fortitude if I get an opportunity to. Cleanup bulls are by Fortress and Uptown. My best heifers are out of one of my Fortress...

Just calves so nothing to go on other than higher birthweight than the epds represent. Not sure anyone but the owners of the Bull could have breeding age females yet.

I was able to talk with Brian House at Select on Unique & a few other bulls. He seems pretty high on the Bull because of the dam and his base width & structure. He hadn’t seen a lot of calving data but did point out that the pedigree wasn’t in line with the calving ease epd so between that and...

Anybody else using him? I like the dam & he looks solid so I gave him a try. I’ve been a little surprised by a few 90+ lb calves on cows who haven’t typically had big calves. By his Epds he should be calving ease but I’m hesitant to use him on heifers which I was going to do this winter. If...

Birthweight accuracy is the first epd to get “proven”. Anything below .85 accuracy means very little because if my memory serves me its less than 5 herds turning in data. Until .85 epds can be manipulated by contemporary groups or cherry picking by the breeder on what calves to turn data in on...

From genex Pa Fortitude works well on heifers, good thickness and has a nice balanced set of epd’s with reasonable proof. I’d use him on heifers and cows if you want to keep it simple and be happy with the outcome. Good luck.

Check out Fortress. He’s fairly well proven & I think fits what you. Are looking for.

It would be interesting. I’ve been disappointed by hybrid vigor. Not a bad experience with charolais but the pounds didn’t make up for the premiums against fairly maternal angus genetics. If those numbers were to be real, and only time will tell, they are more than I think hybrid vigor gets you...

Unless they grow better than the Char or Limo. Why turn away the premiums?

I don’t think so on the genex issue. A 2015 bull with 80% accuracy isn’t bad at all. Any one know why Select didn’t keep selling his sire Early Bird? If you wanted a high marbling heifer bull he looked to be it.

I bet Universal loves being drug into this s-show. It will be interesting how they respond.

Ambush on the bottom side. Ambush exploded but then really disappeared just as fast. I think they made outstanding feeders but harder doing cows. They still had decent calves and bred back despite their appearance but not ideal to me. The topside I’ve avoided in the past because I didn’t like...

So you don’t think that title along with your post is speaking to the honesty and credibility of a program? Do you really think that question mark makes it ok?

I find it interesting that this site edited a post of mine that referred to a bulls rear end using the three letter a word that really doesn’t qualify as profanity after the first grade but seems to be ok with a blatant accusation like the title and original post here. Seems pretty slanderous.
