[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1372339, member: 18809"] That calf is sired by Shear Force (here are his EPD's: [url=https://herdbook.org/simmapp/action/animalSearch.AnimalSearchAction?eventSubmit_performAnimalSearch=T&animalNumbers=2081939]https://herdbook.org/simmapp/action/ani ... rs=2081939[/url]) and a picture of him (long dead) [url=http://cdiamondranch.com/simmentals/hooks-shear-force-38k/]http://cdiamondranch.com/simmentals/hoo ... force-38k/[/url]. Her dam is JM Alice, who is a Remington Red Label x Lucky Dice and the great H25 cow. [img]http://i68.tinypic.com/2sabadh.jpg[/img] It is the only embryo that stuck out of that mating. Talk about a keeper for life! Shear Force walked the pastures for 12 years, along with being heavily collected. Anyone who has had a Shear Force daughter, or son, knows the value of his genetics from a production standpoint.
