[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1403377, member: 20580"] It wasn't but a few years ago that Revolution was #1 in new registrations in the Hereford breed and there are quite a few sons and daughters of him in production now in a lot of programs around the country. Most of our Revolution calves usually were our top calves in their calf crops and the daughters we kept are quickly becoming some of our best young cows. I do think that he probably sires better females than he does bulls or at least much more consistent with the females IMO. He does moderate frame size a little bit so depending on how big your cattle is I would say our average frame size of Revolution progeny were usually between a 5 and 6 frame but mostly in that mid 5 frame range. He's probably one of the more proven sires in the breed right now since there has been so much progeny sired by him. We kept in-herd semen interest on a Revolution son we raised and sold to another program and after seeing the calves they had sired by him plus we have 3 daughters of our own now in production with calves we're probably going to use more of that bull in our AI program in the coming years as his calves have really stood out and really like how his daughters are as cows now.
