[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1347719, member: 14585"] Why the huge difference in energy? The huge difference in mature cow Height and Weight makes Sunrise daughters more expensive to carry year round verses Chisum. In addition Sunrise has higher milk than Chisum, so their energy requirements while lactating is a good bit higher and also adds to higher energy needs to breed back. I'm a fan of Chisum, top 30% sc top 10% heifer pregnancy. You can do better than Sunrise for what you want. The mature cow height and weight and $EN with 95th % tile sc and 45th Hp would make him a no go for me for anything that has holstein blood. Herefords are good for knocking down the holstein heavy milk production. Perhaps consider the polled hereford Durango at Select Sires or R294 at ABS Black Baldies make nice cows and hereford would also add a round of heterosis while helping to keep milk production under control. P.S. White face calves are cute as all get out. [/QUOTE]
