[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1343258, member: 14661"] Back to Basics is at Origen, which is available from any ABS rep. If you're serious about calving ease he's about as good as it gets. He has quite a bit to offer beyond calving ease but big time growth isn't on that list. Special focus is a great choice. Brilliance will work but I would not stake my reputation on his calving ease. You can tell a lot about numbers by what sectors of the industry a bull is being marketed to. Special focus and brilliance have very similar CE numbers but one is being sold primarily to commercial cattlemen and breeders that target them one is being used in the show circles in addition to commercial sales. I trust CE numbers much more on the commercially oriented bulls because the heifers they get bred to are much more likely to be raised in real world conditions. [/QUOTE]
