Since we are discussing SAV... Our favorite this year has been the Quarterback. Nothing but love and I only got 3 of them.

Really great info! Thanks for sharing.

Milk has been a concern but they've been weaning calfs well. My wean ratios are 101-107 on PA Fortitude daughter/granddaughters... I have two granddaughters that are virgin heifers. So no data there, obviously. The 101 Wean Ratio is off a first calf heifer. I would not be scared to use Fortitude...

MY BEST FEMALES are from him. I believe they exemplify exactly what a female should look like. I want a whole herd of them. I don't have any pics on me but you can go to Dodds Cattle on Facebook and peruse thru my pics and find a few. My favorite is actually a grand-daughter of his...

I'd stay away from 1682. The only breed back issues we have had are from his progeny and grand progeny. We also bought a heavy bred heifer. She was due 10/19 to a Gar Ashland. She also happens to be Payweight daughter. When I tell you we've had bad luck...I do mean it. She calved early and her...

Thor was being collected at the same facility our bull was. He was an exceptionally nice looking fella but he was struggling with a scrotal infection of some sort. I am glad they made the decision to not collect, whether he was or was not producing now. I'd have liked to use him.

I wrote a very long post earlier that seems to have disappeared. The original sire is the real sire. Anomaly with his DNA. Dan Moser handled this with us this past week. He was ONE marker off. We had met with the operation a few weeks ago and they saw the bull. They were certain it was truly...

I have a few coming the 1st of the year and then a "butt load" coming the first part of February. We flushed him to my Tour of Duty daughter and an Earnan daughter. The Tour of Duty daughter did very well with our flush of Acclaims. Our Earnan daughter may be the best mating with Bubs though...

I don't think he looks bad, just young? Agree on pedigree.

The two we have in our herd (granddaughters) were still bred following AI to a good bull but I don't forsee us retaining them. Probably sell as heavy bred. Had our first Tex Playbook calf from a Spruce Mountain heifer (Colonel daughter) yesterday. One of our area seedstock producers came by to...

Poss Total Impact. A few in this group are real nice. We culled hard before pasture season. We got a couple dink’s in this group that aren’t all bulls. They’re just there to fill the bunk space. But we are taking the 90 bulls we do have and culling down to 20. I am certain an Impact son will...

Brief video of a small group of some weaned calves. The ground I walk is level with top of bunk (nearly) so it distorts their size and look some. But you get the jist. TT, 1733s neck was dragging across the bunk last night. Fatty. https://www.facebook.com/609586731/posts/10156580554551732?sfns=mo

I had my hair colored yesterday. The stylist is giggling. I asked her what was so funny. She said “your hair grows funny”... I asked what she meant. She then said “well, you have gray hairs here but it’s not from the root. It is gray about half way down.” I told her that growth of gray was...

Sensation brings the right amount of length for me. I don’t mind length as long as it doesn’t sacrifice its top line.

I can certainly see the large frame. They surprised us. They didn’t really start standing apart till about the last month or so at pasture.

Agree on President. Some are so long, they look like wiener dogs.

If I had to pick my favorite SAV sired calved calved from this crop, it is Quarterback. Game Changer is looking good too and slightly smaller framed.

He’s still available on semen sites. So I guess, unless you can get him cheaper at auction...
