[QUOTE="robert, post: 618304, member: 9171"] Depends on the bloodlines he already has and what he wants to achieve with using some of the older proven bulls. EPDs aren't everything, some of the latest, greatest are also some of the sorriest, sexless sons of b..... you'll ever see. Right Time is a great udder improver like his sire EXT, temperament may be an issue but personally we've had no problems with either. 6807 is variable, he can leave a little white and posty legged, udders are generally very good though, we have a Right Time / 6807 herd sire we bred [url=http://www.tullyfergus.com/herd-bull-alley.htm]www.tullyfergus.com/herd-bull-alley.htm[/url] T-71 leaves a lot of white, generally those cattle were a little frail, like his son 8180. Alliance also can sire a bit of white, he leaves excellent females however they can be a little tough to keep getting rebred due to milking ability / fleshing ease however if they get over 3 or 4 yo they'll last forever. Might consider some of the old GDAR bulls like Rainmaker 340, Traveler 3173 and even Executive 727 (though bw and frame might be an issue with 727). [/QUOTE]
