[QUOTE="UG, post: 1106018, member: 714"] I credit the Judds because they produce some very attractive cattle and do a great job marketing them. They had some of the most attractive Gelbvieh and Balancer bulls in Denver last month. Though I don't know Dave and Cindy Judd personally, I have also been told that they are very nice folks who are good to work with. However, several producers have told me that they weren't able to duplicate the Judd's heavy weaning weights, and didn't get as good of breed back on the females as the Judd's do. I have also used some Judd bulls in my herd via AI and have not had much success with the cattle, and don't have any daughters sired by Judd bulls in my herd. As others have previously stated, I suspect it is because my cows are expected to perform on grass and hay. From what I have been told the Judd cows not only have some of the very best grass available in the country due to their location in the Flint Hills of Kansas, but the cows are provided supplemental feed, which allows for good milk production (heavy weaning weights) and excellent breed back of the females. Unless you are willing to provide your cows with lots of groceries, I would encourage you to find a seedstock provider that raises cattle successfully under similar environment and management conditions as you do.
