Cow maker ABS Bull?

[Oldtimer]

If I was going to do any AIing this year- an ABS bull I would try is Tender Ten...A double bred 5522 that comes from a cow family known for maternal- and a ranch known for its maternal program....
He also has a high DOC rating-- and in talking with the owners have been told he is a nice quiet bull...Looks like he could be a cowmaker...

What does a +36 DOC rating translate to?

Means both Tender Ten and his sire B3R 0004 ELECTRA 8082-8017 are tied for 5th from the top in the Docility EPD in the AAA main sire list.....

What about the DDA Emblazon 27C bull. He isn't in the catalogue but you can still get him through ABS, at least we can in Canada anyway. He has a bit more BW (around breed average) than Prime Time but more growth, better docility and slightly more mature size. If you want some info here is the Diamond D website. He is pictured on the homepage and you can also click the link to him.

If you're giving any thought to the Oak Hollow 7709 bull you can search Mr. Lowe's website or better yet give him a call.

He's a stand up man who really breeds deep cattle that to my understanding are based off of the graham program, those being several generations back now though and with some EXT in the mix.

Based on the birth weight data I would run with a GAR Predestined Son:

Check Hereford to Angus

As part of our three way cross - - I plan to bred small Hereford cows and wf heifers to a BA bull this spring. I am looking for easy keeping replacements. Are there better ABS options than N Bar Prime?
