[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 116281, member: 2095"] There is not enough information here for me to make a recommendation. Oh sure there are some names on your list I like; but BEI is only giving me EPDs and pedigree to go on. I am probably too old school (again); but I LIKE to know a Bull's real performance data. What is his mature, 24 month, 365 day, and 205 day real weights.? What is his frame score, hip height, scrotal circumference, etc? and show me a picture of his mama and BETTER, pictures of a couple of his best daughters and maybe some performance tests on his sons. Some Angus jock is going to have to make this call; based on info we don't have here. I am a big EPD guy; but I wouldn't buy anything based on the EPD alone (even when we have 95% accuracy) and I don't know ANY breed well enough to start picking sires off of a list based solely on an EPD and my memory. I am tempted to recommend Pine Drive Big Sky out of raw nostalgia (and respect for a lot of his daughters I have seen) but I recommend that you do more research before making a semen purchase.
