[QUOTE="CPL, post: 605995, member: 6346"] I've never used the bull so I can only go by what I can see in registrations and ratios. There was still a good group of calves registered on of 5N this spring, but overall he hasn't seen as much use as a more famous half brother M326. I've seen a handful of M326 progeny and overall I like them. Also I think they'd be much easier to market, with the added exposure of their sire. However good animals [i]should[/i] sell well any way. M326 and 5N have similar ratios on IMF, but then 5N falls to around 99% on REA while M326 stays above 100 at 101%. Based on the ratios it looks like 3008 sired a lot of IMF, but not some much REA. M326's dam ratioed on 10 calves 103.9% for REA and 105.2% for IMF. On 5 calves, 5N's dam was under 100% for REA and only 101.5% on REA. That's about all I can say. Some of it probably doesn't mean too much though. What were you looking to add with 5N. IMO there's much better reg. hereford AI bulls out there. I also attached a younger photo of him that I got off the AHA site. It doesn't impress me too much. [/QUOTE]
