Hereford U.S., Russ Tegtmeier has a son out of Tank that he owns with Topps, NJW, and one other owner. This Tank son is ID 45P, but I can't remember anymore of his name but his prefix is from NJW.Herefords.US":2rb50v7b said:So far the only Achiever son that I've been able to find that I'd have interest in using. Reasonable price on semen and certs.
I've got just a few straws of Achiever semen and keep looking for a place to use it where I might produce my own son to use.
Someone from Canada posted in one of the forums I follow earlier about "Tank" and had some calves by him that they really liked.
And "farmguy" from Minnesota posted here at CT earlier that thay had a "Tank" son that they really liked.

I though that Ryan Topp is walking the bull right now. Didn't he buy him from Ned Ward this summer. However Lindsey the owner of Aberdeen in Newzealand has all the semen that has been collected this past summer. If this is the bull were talking about ask Ned or Ryan.smnherf":1euwgvq1 said:I don't have any experince with the bull myself, in fact I was going to use him a few years ago, but his birthweight epd scared me away. I talked to a couple guys where they did have some big calves on some higher bw cows. He is back on my radar as his birthweight epd is decreasing.
I visited with a guy just the other night who has used him quite a bit the past several years and he absolutely loves what he has done, in his herd. He has added thickness, stouness, rib and the females are really good uddered. He said that he hasn't taken pigment away, but I do know that his herd has a lot of pigment. Hope this helps.
