[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1276673, member: 20580"] We've never used 719T but the neighbors with black crossbreds down the road have and I guess they weren't impressed enough to keep using him and actually offered to give us the rest of the semen they had on him so we did some more research on him before declining. The Hereford breeders I have discussed him with have had mixed feedback on him, the guys looking at feedlot and carcass traits say he's poor in that area and the cow/calf producers say he's good on calving ease and make decent cows but he's really marginal on frame size and growth. His performance pedigree shows 220 progeny with an average of 5.3 frame so depending on what you are looking for he could be OK or he could be a disappointment is the general consensus I get from talking with breeders that have used him. Genex has him listed as a 6.3 frame for yearling and 6.0 mature frame so if his progeny are averaging a 5.3 frame that is a little concerning. Revolution definitely is a cow maker. He too is going to possibly give you some more moderate framed females as he has 759 progeny recorded at an average frame of 5.6. We've used him on a variety of different types of cows and have been getting middle to lower 5 yearling frame for his females but they have made very solid cows with nice tight udders with plenty of milk. Our bull calves out of him we've had frame as high as 7 to as low as 5.5 but all usually have been pretty growthy bulls with some good muscling. Just depends on where you prefer to get your semen from but I think Rausch Herefords has a pretty solid lineup of both Polled and Horned bulls you can get semen on: [url=http://www.rauschherefords.com/sires.html]http://www.rauschherefords.com/sires.html[/url] Their program has the most Dam of Distinctions in the Hereford breed so you know they aren't ignoring the maternal traits in their program. For Polled bulls we've been using Hyalite On Target 936 and SHF YORK 19H Y02 including keeping a 936 son that we used this summer and will get our first calves out of in 2016. [/QUOTE]
