Seems to me that there are few other sources that have the combo of calving ease, easy keeping, carcass quality, and growth. Since I am using some Feltons influenced genetics, I went on Reed's site, and began to trace pedigrees of the bulls who are in my bloodlines, particularly MSU MF Hudson 19H, MSU WNH Feltons 5, and Feltons 517. 517's grandsire was FHR Prospector 030(#?), who was from a long string of Prospectors. Also in the pedigree was a Mousel's Lamplighter, some Domestic Mischief breeding, etc. These were some of the great cattle of their day, and I feel a strong foundation which explains a lot about the quality and position of Feltons genetics today.
Feltons 5 was fairly short marked, with a powerful rear quarter I thought. 19H is double bred 517 and Optimum Z03. I obtained these genetics via the use of two half brothers sired by 19H's son, HVH Hudson. We bred the daughter of FGR Nevin Hudson N4 to N4's half brother, FGR Reed Hudson R34. The resulting bull calf is my favorite of the year.
I'm eagerly waiting for the result of mating R34 to the daughter of Day Rupert Tone 092. Calving time may be my favorite time of the year. :banana:
