I am looking at a number of bulls to purchase semen from to use over my commercial cows to breed replacements females and heavy yearling steers.
I'm not really looking to change anything in female herd, more so I'm looking to retain the traits I have. The cows are what I would call medium to large Angus females, are reasonable long, deep and easy doing. Some of the cows tend to throw calves that are a bit early maturing and the steers from those types end up fat and run out of growth at the lower end of my target weight range or as heifers they are too small end up culled.
Have any of you used BR AMBUSH 28?

He has been very popular in Australia. I am conserned by some of his Australian numbers being -0.8 for scrotal (ave +1.4) and 0 for milk (ave +12) although I have plenty of milk in my cows already.
I saw a son of his I would have liked to purchase last year but the breeder priced him outside my budget as though to say "anything is for sale for the right amount of money.
