[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 958285, member: 13402"] Baldie Maker This is the first year for us using the OCC genetics, and we are just sampling at this point. We rarely try a young bull Regis is an exception and he has been used on the strength of the cow family backing him. We (my husband our son who is a partner in our farm and I) made a trip to Montana to tour several Angus operations we went to Van Dyke, Sinclair, Sitz and Coleman.
