Resurrecting an old thread.
1. Per the original question -- I'm looking for everyone's experiences/observations on AI sires that "seem" to settle cows a bit better. For example, Hickok and Cowboy Up have had higher conceptions for us the past two years than other sires (HD/Enhance/Future Force).
2. What are others using as a replacement sire for Hoover Dam? I'm looking at Powerball (for a direct replacement) and Broken Bow (for a similar qualities with a different pedigree). I asked an ABS rep and he mentioned Manhattan, but I'm not familiar with the bull. There are a number of bulls with HD in the pedigree (patriarch, challenger, command, alternative, etc) was curious if others had more experience.
Thanks!
