[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1693181, member: 4063"] GoWyo, Memphis, TX is only a couple of hours drive away from me and I respect their operation as one that culls extensively which makes many problems go away. Some operations do everything to make the WW and YW look good and then when a commercial cattlemen like me gets them we wonder what happened to the performance? I don't think B3R does that like some other breeders do which may explain why you're getting more performance than you thought. B3R Electorate A229 has a couple of things that I look for in the numbers, CW>MW and YH>MH. When both of these returns a positive number it seems to indicate (at least to me) faster early growth versus a later spurt in growth. I'm trying to raise quality commercial replacements and quality freezer beef. In my area there are some people that sell bred heifers that they picked up at the local sale barn and ran on wheat pasture for a few months with a bull, this isn't my idea of a good replacement female. I've had better luck raising my own replacements but they don't all work out the way I would like and want to improve my odds and quality with some selective picks to AI with. For many years I was using a registered Angus bull that had N Bar Emulation EXT on the top side and bottom side but 3 generations back. Now I have a Ten X son that I'm hoping will add more growth and carcass quality but like you said "while not losing maternal function". J+ Cattle [/QUOTE]
