[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1608424, member: 37941"] What are your goals? Selling feeder calves? Seedstock? Finishing? Maternal? The advice I would give is based on retaining ownership and selling finished animals. But that might not be your goals. As such, I'd encourage looking hard at high accuracy bulls in the areas you value. I'd suggest looking up videos of bulls to see if they align with your goals structurally. The best ABS sire I've used is Hoover Dam. I have a bunch of Hickok calves nearing weaning. For reasons unclear to me I don't like them as much as HD offspring. I've had a few Absolute calves that are just cattle. The females have made decent cows, but moderate framed. Power tool makes ok cows, but a bit larger framed (tall). For next year due to a bunch of reasons I've got Cowboy Up, Enhance, and HD calves expected. [/QUOTE]
