[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1735928, member: 12607"] He was around soon after we first started using Simmental sires, but I never used him, as I was not chasing 'black'. He was homo black and homo polled, without the diluter gene, which may explain why he was so widely used in his day. And... Leachman was a 'mover and shaker'. He's definitely behind some good cattle - and I've seen some in recent years that had him fairly close-up, so some folks have still been using him, even though he's a 1986 model... Looking at his epd profile... to my mind, today he'd be a 'specialty carcass' sire, and maybe not all that great of one, but he has a top 1% Shr (tenderness) epd, and looks to reduce backfat; not that great on marbling and ribeye, though. Other than that, I don't necessarily see anything about him that would tempt me to use him today. Nostalgia is not always all it's cracked up to be...
