Hey, the sale catalog says he'd just finished breeding 30 two year olds in 4 days, and the only thing he had to eat was an old box of cornflakes they found in the back of a kitchen cabinet..... plus minerals of coarse. :lol:

My concern is that he's one of only two registered progeny by his sire and the only registered calf from his dam. And he only has 8 registered offspring so far. There's not enough information there to make me want to use him yet.

John, it's one of the NEW features of the AHA EPD database. You must log in, then you can get the inbreeding coefficient by putting the sire's and dam's registration numbers in the "mating predictor".
For instance, by putting his sire's and dam's REG numbers in, I found out that your 71J bull has a 49% inbreeding coefficient.
