[QUOTE="heather3_27, post: 85985, member: 1564"] Hey Guys, I swear, being in the middle of the AI season around here makes it hard to spend anytime checking message boards. :) But it's good for business, and it's a fun time! Lngvew: Sounds like a good line up for the year. We are using Smokester this year as well, and some Polled Value... I would like to try some Rio Blanco, but think I am gonna wait for now. I am trying to talk my Dad into using Blanco, but so far he's standing firm. :) As far as Fasttrack...our calves were too big out of him, which is crazy, and normally I would blame that on the cows since he's notorious for very low birth weight calves... But those same cows bred to Eliminator had 80# calves, where Fasttrack was throwing 110# + calves every time for us. Strangest thing. Then to boot, we just didn't see the performance that we thought we should have out of him. I've seen some really nice Fasttrack cattle, they just aren't coming off of my place. He just doesnt cross well in my herd. As far as Cigar, I have a guy that has some semen available but wants $350 for it, I think that's too high. It's auctioning in this area for less than that. Budsmydad is gonna run in the $75-$100 range, and 2244 is gonna be harder to locate probably and my guess is around $250. Good luck everyone. Heather :) [/QUOTE]
