[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 93980, member: 102"] If you're looking at Select Sires, why not just use 6I6? It's a personal thing, but I was not impressed with the conformation of Cimarron. Looks a little short bodied to me. Just starting out, why would you go with a low accuracy bull? YW and WW are a little higher, but 6I6 does some things pretty well and there is not, in my opinion, enough difference in the epd's to warrant using the low accuracy son. I like the energy # of 6I6 (+14) vs the son (-2?). Besides, you're going to have to sell on average at least half of the progeny. If you want to be seedstock, most of your market is going to be bulls (again, my opinion). Better to try to sell a bull with a name sire. Lee [/QUOTE]
