[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 729535, member: 13"] Or you could use a well proven bull and have fewer nasty surprises. This reminds me of a former Angus breeder not too far from here in Texas some years ago. He'd bought the dam of a well known Angus AI bull. At one of his cow sales he auctioned the right to flush her to the bull of the buyer's choice. Well, the buyer wanted her flushed to AAR New Trend. He had to jump through some hoops, but found the semen and they flushed the cow. At the guy's bull sale a couple of years later, he sold some AAR New Trend bulls out of that cow. They didn't sell well at all. Their EPDs were not as good as his other bulls and their growth reflected those lower EPDs compared to the sons of more current sires. [/QUOTE]
