night off

Has anyone used "Brooks Night Off 7AN254"? I looked on select sires, but found no photo. Still kinda ignorant on what all the numbers mean. Has anyone used him?

I have a picture of him that was sent to me by select sires. I had bought a heifer bred to him, and couldn't find any info. Turns out she wasn't bred. I can email it to you if you would like.

Next door neighbors used him for a while as a heifer AI bull. I don't have any idea about how he worked for them - other than no calving issues, or if they kept back any daughters.

He's a 6I6 son, out of a daughter of SAF Focus of ER.
Calving ease/low BW. WW/YW below breed average. Moderate to low milk, good positive $EN. Probably would make decent, moderate-framed, economical cows. Don't know that his steers would necessarily be scale-mashers; marbling & ribeye epds are fairly low.

Thanks Lucky_P for translating. Where can I learn more about the "numbers game?". I doubt if I'll ever have a big enough herd for it to really matter much, but maybe it will.

Angus 106 I would love to see a photo.
