[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 697102, member: 3972"] Great advice! A couple well respected Hereford breeders gave me that very same advice 7 years ago when my enthusiasm for being back in the Hereford business was overriding my logic. Like you, CosgrayHerefords, I was wanting to sample every potential good bull out there. I'm glad that I listened to them, as it was sure a lot easier to select sires for the next generation when there was much more consistency in them. Nice group of cows, overall! If it were me, I'd use 146 or his son, Maui Jim, on those cows that are "full bodied" and pick another bull, like Wideload, and use him on those that appear that they could use a little more volume added. I also wouldn't have any reservation on using any of those three bulls on good growthy Hereford heifers. George [/QUOTE]
