Another thread got me thinkin.......... What is the first bull you used A.I. doesn't matter what breed. Any stories or info you want to share is incouraged. Never learned so much about Herefords till i joined this chat room lol!

I think that the first one we used was the angus bull T E F Optima. I'm pretty sure our oldest angus cows (12-15 years old) are out of him.

Rads Black Prodigy, i used him on a Limi heifer that was Homo Black and Homo Polled.

Polled Progress, a calving ease Tarentaise bull. Son of one of the original fullblood imports from the 70's. The calf was born exactly on the due date, unassisted, to a first calf heifer. It was a bull, his bw was 76 and his adj ww was over 600 pounds. Grew up a nice bull, he was sold as a heifer bull-the dam's sire was also proven for calving ease.

I'm a newbie to A.I. so for me it was In Focus.

First beef semen I ever used was Freedom Fog the calf ended up being a clean up bull for 3 seasons..

 

[Lucky_P]

Alpine Polled Proto, pb Simmental; somewhere around 1988.
Don't have the resulting heifer anymore, but do have some of her granddaughters/g-granddaughters in the herd.
Also used ABR Sir Arnold's Image, DS Pollfleck, DS Polltime, and Generation III.
Sent that last old halfblood Gen III daughter to slaughter last year, as an 18-yr old. She was a good 'un.

My uncle started using AI sometime back in the sixties. Don't know the bull, but it would've been a Holstein.
