[QUOTE="WarEagle73, post: 1230910, member: 19171"] This AI supplier couldn't get the semen I wanted in time for breeding,[url=http://www.accelgen.com/catalog/semen-beef/014an00426/english/coleman-charlo-0256/]Coleman Charlo 0256[/url]. He doesn't keep that semen in the tank. Instead I told him I wanted a calving ease Final Answer son. I figured he knew these bulls better than I did, so I let him pick me a bull. It was only for a small number of heifers and I was more worried about getting a live calf. True Answer wasn't what I would have picked, but he said they had used him on heifers with good success. The ROI bull has EPD's that I like other than the CE and BW. I'm not super concerned about the BW EPD, but the CE bothers me. I found an older listing of this bull from Brazil or somewhere in South America and it looks like his CE was a +4 then, so it appears he is headed in the wrong direction as well. We are going to have them ultrasounded next week to see how many stuck on AI. From there we will make a decision. Don't really want to put them 45 days behind and waste all that money from the estrus synch, but we don't want to kill them either... As far as the cane in the tank, I will have to go look at it. It definitely is a possibility that the cane doesn't match the semen in it. Being that they both were Connealy bulls that would make some sense. [/QUOTE]
