[QUOTE="Prairiegrass, post: 839029, member: 15700"] I'm looking for some comments on the following ABS and Select Sires bulls. I've searched the archives but some comments are couple years old. Looking for something fairly proven with daughters on the ground. Does not need to be calving ease but must be above breed average. Current Hereford bull choice doesn’t have enough butt. Feel to give suggestions, I just happen to have ABS/SS catalogs and it's a bear using online catalogs for more than EPD looks ups so this is where I'm starting. Harland Frame score of daughters. Comments from previous threads have his daughters anywhere from 5-7, but that was 09 and not many comments since. Any more comments on frame size? I want a frame 6 cow or less; preferably 5.5 or less. Looking for feet and leg comments – especially feet. Are udders and teats going to hold up – especially teat size. Domino 3027 Feet and leg comments same as above. Listed as good udder sire, how about teat size in particular? Was discussed previously as “show sire.” Any new comments there? Cow frame size? He has a yearling frame listed but not mature frame. Thor I like everything ABS writes about this bull, especially the cow longevity. Can I assume he’s standing on good feet? Comments in the past have questioned his ability to hold up outside the show ring. Any new thoughts? Any temperament issues? He’s listed with a YFS of 6.2, but his mother is 5.5. He would probably be used on Predestined daughters so I think I’ll be OK on frame size. Ribeye Seems to be getting a lot of use. Listed as good footed, how about udders/ teats? Although his YW EPD is acceptable to me, seems like with a YFS of 7 it should be higher. Is he short on muscle? His MFS is listed as 6. Anyone have daughters they can comment on? Final question. Do Hereford breeders feel the across breed EPD adjustment factor of -17.5 for Angus comparisons is accurate? Thanks, PG [/QUOTE]
