[QUOTE="mrvictordomino, post: 883125, member: 14333"] Seeing in person, 930 and 967 are not so much different in type, but may not breed the same either. From these pictures, 967 is the more powerful bull. 930's sire 653 was used one season and sired the top performing bull and heifer that year. The only problem was I didn't like the package they came in. The top performers had extra frame, great length, but lacked depth of body. The older 653 got, the less I liked him, extremely long and no body. I did keep 930 because of his good weaning and yearling ratios. He also scanned very well. He also represented a different line that I thought I might need in the future so I would not breed myself into a corner geneticly. I have some calves on the ground by him and they are going to have some depth of body to them, better than I had anticipated. 967 is the thicker made bull. His dam is a very deep bodied 343 daughter and I do expect him to sire calves somewhat different than the other bull. To me, when I talk change of type, I would think of the 745 four year old as a type changer in this herd. Both 930 and 967 were out of two year old heifers. 930 actually had better individual performance than 967. Both bulls are out with heifers this breeding season. [/QUOTE]
