[QUOTE="Aero, post: 245786, member: 2076"] farmerD44: I wouldnt rule out Integrity at all. there are things i see in his calves that are encouraging. he could turn out to be the perfect cow maker. with his lower YW, his daughters will probably be quite a bit lower on MW which is good for everybody. his YH will also contribute to lower demand (smaller framed females) and with carcass numbers, the cows could be just right. you just have to find a terminal sire with good growth (which is easy) and the cow will help out on the carcass end. the phenotype in the calves is quite nice from what i have see and i have probably seen 50+ of them in the last year. i have an Integrity daughter (out of a Future Direction daughter) that I like very much and she is growing better than her numbers say she should. my grandfather had quite a few Yield Grade calves and they are looking pretty good. the only problem i have with them is excess white. it is obvious that Yield Grade is the culprit for that issue when you look at the calves. it is a sure bet that if you see a calf with more white than we like, it has a "YG" on its tag. if you are looking for growth with average+ frame and good looking calves, I have to suggest G A R New Market 7892; his accuracy is up and i can answer about any question you have about him.
