The majority of our herd goes back to 6807 in one fashion or another. Either through Emblazon or Dateline.
I would go with Paxton or Prototype over the others little more grow to them.
You will give up a lot using Homer or Moderator. Females will look good about the time they get 4 years old.
I never thought of 6807 as an Ohlde bull- but when you think about it even tho he was bred and raised by Dale Davis he was co-owned and used extensively by Tim and one of the foundations of the Ohlde breeding... Just like some of the Cedar Hills cows (Dixie Erica of C H 1019) raised by John Hamilton play heavily in the foundation of the O C C herd..,
We have kept a heavy sampling of Dale Davis breeding thru Rito 707 and 6807 progeny as well as old Cedar Hills bloodlines in our herd... Much of the C H genetics comes thru the Cole Creek cattle we bought a few years back which have a heavy Juanada influence (which again goes back to Dale Davis genetics)..
Why start over trying to build the wheel when folks like these have already done a great job with many years of genetic building? These bloodlines seem to nick well with most genetics you combine them and give you a good foundation to take whatever way you want in your breeding plan...
