[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1694438, member: 16453"] They look very classy WB, I'd be happy with some like that. How did you find their BW and calving ease, would you use Magnitude on heifers? One of the things that drew me to Magnitude was his grandsire on the Bennetts Southside side, Nichols Extra K205. I had exposure to this bull way about 12 years ago, one of my foundation cows was in calf to him and her calf just looked like a bull from the get go, possibly the best bull I have reared, I used him for cleanup as a yearling and found the strong masculine appearance of his calves was very dominant and I can see that appearance in those bulls of yours. I was going to use Magnitude a few years ago when he first became available from ABS here but his EBV's for growth were off the planet and I was a bit worried that they might be too big but they have since moderated. He got very little use here and disappeared from the catalogue and I think has just been used commercially. I got my semen reseller to see if he could get some and they dug some up for me at $25 a dose which is pretty cheap for me, I usually have to pay around the $50 mark. I am looking forward to see the results. Thanks for posting those photos WB, very impressive. Ken [/QUOTE]
