[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1527476, member: 18809"] I have always loved my Mo Better calves, but he tends to suck the gut out of them (shallow ribbed) and make them BIG framed. We sold a Mo Better heifer (Ron - Mo Betty) a few years back. I see the guy that bought her every year at farm fest and he loves her! He happened to buy her granddam several years ago (she is still producing), but I still have her dam (she is 10 now, a great cow- goes back to Lucky Dice and Hummer). But they make great females. Semen can be found on him, he used to be a Genex bull. I saw him in person when he resided at Genex years ago...(old video of him). [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IdgfQ4ICs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IdgfQ4ICs[/url] Cowboy cut had pretty high accuracy, and his DNA had been genomically tested, so I do not see how his EPD's would change that much. He has OVER 500 calves registered, and is one of the top sires used.
