Would you use SS Niagara on heifers with his CED EPD of +4? Seems like he might not be a good choice for heifers. That bull has caught my attention the past few months and he's on my short list for future use, but I don't think I'd use him on my heifers with his CED.W.B. said:SS Niagara, my oldest are two yr. olds and they have great toe shape and structure. I would include KM Broken Bow on that list also.

I am currently calving my 3rd set of first calf heifers to him. I have had to help a couple last year but they were easy pulls. I use him on lower birth heifers that need some performance. Last year I pelvic measured my replacements to ensure I didn't have any small one in the bunch.Luckiamute said:Would you use SS Niagara on heifers with his CED EPD of +4?

We also have him this year! Have you used him before? Broken Bow.

Good luck in the sale. It's helpful just to look at the numbers in the Midland Bull Test Catalog.
Musgrave has some magic going on right now with bulls. I really like the bulls out of Big Sky cows.
Not sure if he is really a heifer bull or not.
