Cannot comment specifically on the OCC bulls you mention but some of our favourite cow lines have OCC genetics running in the back ground or directly.
BC Lookout 7024 is an OCC Legend…love our Lookout cows. They handle stress and maintain fleshing abilities on low inputs. Not overly huge but by no means small cattle. Ideal moderately framed angus.
Have an OCC Legend cow that is now 8 years old and she is as solid and sure as they come. She is smaller framed but raises them up right and gets the job done with minimal inputs. When feed is tight and cattle rationed and/or we are going through a hard winter she doesn't skip a beat and remains fleshy.
No SAV Checkmate daughters in production yet but calves sure are nice and demonstrate those OCC growth patterns…OCC Paxton is running in the background on those.
What works in some herds is a fail in others…these are our experiences as they apply to OCC genetics.
