[QUOTE="1848, post: 69893, member: 1303"] I would not hesitate to purchase the 517 semen, although I would probably not put him in heifers. I would take and use the semen in a flush and increase my chances of conceptions to him, or place him in good milking cows that I know will produce a good bull. That way, you can continue to inject the 517 bull and his high accuracies, into one of your better cow lines on the maternal side. PW Victor Boomer does not produce as light of calves as his EPD's would reflect. Braxton Giant seems to hold very true to his EPD's, and his calves are very acceptable. Going with "everything" EPD's does not always work, but it looks good on paper. I would carefully evaluate my program , the heifers, and the purpose for the resulting offspring and find a low BW, high accuracy bull to use. [/QUOTE]
