[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1503300, member: 24565"] We AIed with HH and PH semen on a limited basis years back. Remember limited. The HH baldies were longer and taller and sold better ($s) as weaned calves. The HH baldies were more like Angus in the level of speed and movement while the PH baldies were thicker and more muscular but would finally amble out of the pasture into the lots about time half of the other cattle had been processed. I assumed that the differences were bred in from range survival versus farm type. Both worked well. On HH/Angus crosses we had a few to dehorn but they paid their way very well. Best advice I got when looking for potential bulls was to select for hooded or deep set eyes and try to get a tendency to have eye pigment. [/QUOTE]
