[QUOTE="Cdcollett, post: 1654148, member: 30837"] On my first use I got 3 out of 5 to have an ai calf. One really nice bull out of a mentor daughter and one really nice heifer out of an intensity daughter. The other was a bull calf out of a 6i6 daughter that generally has the too tall too narrow type and she did it again so that was disappointing but not a surprise. The first bull will go to the high desert bull sale in the spring. Last years breeding looks like 5 or 6 out of 10 for fall calves. That’s a little low for me on conception but I’m not the worlds best ai tech so it could have been my issue and not the bulls. The Peyton and Sure Fires are at closer to 80% though. I am using him again but it looks like I get a total of 8 straws because he isn’t producing semen at the moment. So I like Uniques sire and dam, like his carcass projections, feet,performance and maternal from what I can tell so far. You get some natural thickness without breeding for midgets. I hope he gets over whatever his production problem is. I would like to see his fertility traits improve(hp, scrotal) but they aren’t that bad so hopefully that doesn’t show up later. Keep in mind my oldest is just a yearling. [/QUOTE]
