[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 288040, member: 4936"] I'm very excited and curious, last spring we ai'd 10 of our good commercial cows with Pied semen - can't wait to see the calves. We are running 370 head of commercial cross bred cows - I've kept back 60 really exceptional heifers this year. Most of the cows are herf x about 1/2 bwf and some simm x and we have been using simm & charlois bulls the last few years and have been having really nice calf crops. But I sorta got a wild hair when I saw some peid bulls and cows at the Stampede in Calgary a few year ago and am curious how they will cross on good commercial grade cows. I too was leary about the size of the bull - so I selected 10 of the bigger, older cows for this little experiment - we'll have to wait and see - they'll start calving around Feb 1st. Just as an aside... we AI'd ten head and all ten caught the first round - we've tried AI before and never had that kind of success rate! Maybe these big fellas really want to make babies! [/QUOTE]
