[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1564659, member: 14585"] 6 of his first 35 eligible daughters made pathfinder. In a small sample size cherry picking or possible owner influence can never be overlooked. But genetics are a funny thing. Astronaut a popular Holstein bull in the 1970s (1st bull to sell over 1 million units of semen) he threw 2 types of daughters, when they were good they were so far above average to great that everyone loved him. But when they were bad, they were hands down the worst in the herd. He ran hot or cold and didn't seem to have any middle ground... cull the poor ones early and you could build a heck of a good herd with an oddball like him. cem -3 accuracy .82 Highly recommend pelvic scoring his daughters and cull them hard accordingly and you could be very happy with him.
