[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 844555, member: 13402"] Oldtimer, Welcome back, I hate to hear about all the flooding in your area. Hopefully things are getting better for you. Have you got all your fences back up yet? A few years ago we had made a trip over to our friends place in Georgia and they served us some of their Waygu Angus cross beef, I was impressed. I actually went home and ordered five straws of a Waygu bull from (don't hold me to this but I think it was Genex). That year if you took out the five cows that I stuck the Waygu in out of the equation we had a 98% conception rate, but I didn't get one of the cows settled that we bred to the Waygu. I am thinking we got some bad semen. I remember the first time I saw a Waygu bull was at buckeye in OK we were touring the stud and I walked into a barn with two of them and couldn't beleive an AI stud would actually put something that ugly on display. Bottom line is nobody is buying them for their looks, they want the marbling ability that they can put into the mix. Like you I would like to use some of the semen each year for my freezer beef program. Gizmom [url]http://www.gizmoangus.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
