[QUOTE="Prairiegrass, post: 947861, member: 15700"] I agree that Limelight throws very nice heifers. I have 10 calves this year that look very nice and have good temperaments. I originally used Limelight as a terminal calving ease sire - thought his $EN and HP too low and and frame to big for keeping heifers. But I really like the look of his calves last year so kept a set of twins out of a Gelbvieh heifer - they are a little larger framed than I like but have good temperaments and both stuck to the first AI. SS rep couldn't get me any more LL semen after my initial purchase, but I have three more heifers this year and I'll be keeping them. It was the look of these calves that got me thinking maybe I should go back to the source and try MIF. I assume the MIF daughters will have better udders than the Limelight daughters. I have a lot of Predestined (Limelights MGS) in my herd. They are great cows except the udder quality isn't quite where I want it. I talked to multiple breeders before using him and they all gave positive reviews concerning his udders, but in my herd they're taking them in the wrong direction, and I see that SS has dropped his udder scores from 5 to 3. Since MIF has good udder scores, I'm hoping Limelight throws better udders than Predestined. Any one know why SelectSires ran out of semen 11/2 years ago? I have not used or heard anything about Ten X. [/QUOTE]
