[QUOTE="Willow Springs, post: 954419, member: 9002"] I have used the MH Magua and Johnny B Good from PCC. I was happy with both sets of calves. The Johnny calves were much more consistent in type and frame. At this point I like them better, but don't have any milking daughters. I will go back to him next year if the daughters start out well. I certainly didn't have any weaning weight issues. Most of the Magua bull calves had AWW near/over 700 lbs; born in early May weaned end of November; grass and milk only. The Johnny calves were more in the 625-675 range, but different year and different cows. The Johnny calves are definitely smaller up to this point (16 months) than the Maguas were. The Magua calves seemed to grow longer and shut down later than the Johnny calves, but the Magua daughters are not big (now 3.5 yrs old). I also used the Pinebank 14'02 bull the same year as Magua. The Magua calves were nicer to look at and had much more performance, but again less consistent. The Pinebank calves were more plain, especially the bull calves. However as cows these Pinebank females are very very good. All calved 1st cycle as two year olds and raised keeper calves, all re-bred for the first cycle as 3 year olds and have keeper calves at side again. They are still a little plain, but there production and calves are not. I think too many people pass on second and third hand information which itself is based on second and third hand information. My information is based on fact. [/QUOTE]
