Gar is great, as long as the feed truck never leaves the pasture.

Comrade heifer I just picked up this past weekend.

best,
Seems like you did really well for yourself.
I still can't get any feedback on how easy or hard it is to get Comrade heifers pregnant.
His SC and HP are both low but Comrade's been popular for a while.
You don't see many in sales though...or, I missed them.

Thanks, I feel like we did really well considering our budget. I know she is AI bred to 316 LD Capitalist. I'm not sure if it was a 1st time breeding or 2nd time, but I know she wasn't exposed to a bull.
Connealy Comrade is still in the top 25 Angus bulls...I really don't get how that would happen with the low HP.
I have looked at LD Capitalist. I know his top son, Stunner, is one of the bulls you can't order on your own from Genex.
You have to call your sales rep. Connealy Capitalist seems to have fallen out of favor for some reason.

Stunner production low or high demand??
I think Capitalist is just an older bull now, with lots of competition, including his sons, there's a lot of them in stud. And his market isn't as big when considering all the $B chasers

Another really nice looking LD 316 Capitalist son is Musgrave 316 Exclusive. He's a tank just like his sire. Not Really a heifer bull
We really liked our LD 316 calves.

I loved our Comrade. We haven't used him since but do have some nice cows from him now. When we pulled commercial EPD's, he was by far the best overall. We haven't had any issues with breeding his daughters.
I've seen the LD Caps and have liked them. We have a plattmere Weigh Up daughter bred to LD Cap. I'm excited to see that calf. Same sale, tried to get a Stunner pregnancy but went too high.

NEFarmWife,
Thanks for the feedback on Comrade.
I think he will add some style to some females.
I don't know how LD Capitalist didn't end up with one of the big semen companies.
If he did, he would probably be ranked really high for number of breedings.

I agree that LD Capitalist 316 would have been used much heavier if at a more well known AI Stud. I believe he was purchased for less than 20K and was the second high selling bull in Luddingtons Sale.
He made hay after his first calfcrop sold at Musgraves. He has gained in popularity by his progeny and not by the hype that most high selling bulls seem to get before they have any calves. I bet he will be in Top 25 Registrations next year.

Who knows, with so many to promote at the big studs, I wouldn't be certain he would've done better. I know he's at a big stud, Genex, but Whitlock is another example of a late bloomer after calf crops.
