[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1084813, member: 6713"] Mr Martin I am gonna give you the unvarnished truth. Whoever bred that combination together should be shot. :dunce: What you have is a terminal bull. He throws nice calves and his CE is just fine in fact almost heifer numbers. His growth is not spectacular but good enuf. The real problem is that they doubled down on the terrible CED and bred you a time bomb. You can keep his dtrs if you want but i will tell you for a fact I would not. If you do decide to keep them you should have pelvic scores done on every one you decide to keep, and for the next 3 or 4 generations afterward. You also need to breed to something with extremely high CED,.... FOREVER. :shock: If you want to keep heifers out of your cows then have them AI'd to balancer or GV bulls with much better CED scores in the future and use him for a cleanup bull till he's done. Ch Canyon alone would be OK as this bulls grandfather but his sire has worse numbers for CED than his dam. :frowns: I for one am happy to see you going the GV/Balancer route you just need to get off that spur track and back on the main line!. :tiphat: ........and BTW his a$$ is just fine. :roll: [/QUOTE]
