[QUOTE="Foxx, post: 956462, member: 2676"] I think they grow really well. They also test out on carcass really well. [url=http://www.rishelangus.com/salebooks/032612/files/assets/seo/page2.html]http://www.rishelangus.com/salebooks/03 ... page2.html[/url] I realize he isn't as pretty as some, and I've heard his sons are often not the prettiest either, but if you want growth, carcass, IMF and RE along with good daughters, highly fertile daughters, good milk epd, and great docility, you can't go too far wrong with him. You may want to sell his sons for steers (which you probably sell at least 60% of your bulls as steers anyway). You will get good mothers from his daughters that stay in the herd. You will likely get upsizing with him. You might not get really low BW. And you will get higher fat than you might want, but after that, it's all good.

He said he didn't know either, but he produces some very fine daughters with a positive $EN (which is rare with any growth), that are good mamas, and they give their offspring good carcass too.
