[QUOTE="LFF, post: 69722, member: 1147"] I say buy 517 and save. Wordd Class should be great on heifers , but I really dislike his carcass data. His carcass data really is not that important at this time , however somewhere in the near (2-5) years I believe that is going to change. Pounds is what is important now. CMF Gentic Phase : boy I like most of his numbers , however he too needs better carcass epd's to me. Genetic Phase really cause me to question why Mr. Reed or Mr. Helms used him very little in their herds? Have you seen a mature picture of him ? I think he is very ugly in the front quarters. He gets that from Phase , which I also do not like. SCHU-LAR 5N OF 9L 3008 (P42375618) My choice for heifers is a unproven bull. This is not a sales pitch because I don't have any ownership of this bull nor do I know his owners. He falls short in the milk epd with only a 17 , but that is above average and most of my heifers are in the low to mid twentys for milk. I was told through a e-mail message that semen and certificates are available and that SHUL-AR 5N will be in the March addition of Hereford World. I'm sure some of you folks have seen my choice for AI use on mature cows HUTH PROPSECTOR N065 (P42409394). I'm really tempted to use him on a heifer that I have that has a calving ease of 6.8 and birth weight of 2.3. The bulls calving ease is in the upper 10 % for 2004 with a 3.6 but his birth weight is a 4.5 . Everyone says to use the calving ease epd if available , so I may try him. Good luck with you decission I really don't think that you will go wrong either way or with the bulls that you are looking at , just thought I see what you and the other hereford folks thoughts were.
