[QUOTE="dawnrogerl, post: 602473, member: 6679"] Thanks for the comments. Yes, he is Cortachy Boy and his semen is being marketed by Genex. There are no EPDs available yet but I did get the following information. He was 73 lbs at birth. His calves are averaging 80-85 lbs. He weighed 1188 at 400 days off of grass. His frame score mature is estimated to be approx. 5.0 and he weights 2360. As for the cow. I did not think to tell you that the picture is an old one of her that I got from AAA. She is now 7 years old. weights 1790 lbs. exstreamily deep and large rump. Her EPDs are CED +10, BW +1.0, RE .16. She has prodigy ratios of WW 4@101 and YW 4@108. As for her being a daughter of 1680, we are keeping a close watch on that. There is a lot of different thoughts on that matter. Yes we will have her tested to see if she is a carrier. AAA is saying, at this time that the carriers seam to be [u]double bred[/u] 1680, which she is not. I also read something interesting the other day on that subject. 1680 was one of the heaviest used bulls in Angus history because of his carcass scores. This writer said that if you used any bull, A, B or Z as heavy as they did 1680 you would have genetic defects with that bull. He went on, as how many fantastic sires or daughters came from 1680. Good food for thought. Like everyone else we are keeping a close watch on this. Finally my concern of breading this combination would be that the bull weights 2360 and the cow weights 1790.
