[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 956448, member: 12607"] Yeah, it's old, and Foxx knows about mine, but in the event anyone else is interested in the bull... I have two 928 daughters, just weaned, out of 3yr-old 3/4Angus 1/4 Simmental cows. Both very nice at this point, long-bodied with good muscle, and will be staying as potential replacements. There's a lot that I like about the bull, from an epd and genetic standpoint. I'm not an Angus purist, and don't sell photos - or breeding stock, so I don't really care all that much about whether his looks are what folks like or not. BW not too bad - though still not sure I'd use him on virgin heifers. WW/YW above breed average. CEM and HP above breed average. Good Docility score. Milk @+22 - wish I could find more with decent growth/carcass that were that low! And, he's at least above zero for $EN - hard to find many AI sires that aren't pretty negative. High marbling/ribeye epds, has all 6 of the GeneStar tenderness markers, and is one of the highest-rated Angus bulls at ABS for progeny tenderness (-.33). Decent $W and good $B values. I don't regret using 928 at all - and would consider him again, as a good Angus sire for my breeding program. [/QUOTE]
