[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 424362, member: 4353"] Thanks loganfos, I haven't recently used any US genetics where I have offspring on the ground yet, but I have about 20 units of semen of a feltons Jedi son out of a SA cow family, that I will be using next year as an experiment. Most of my cowherd goes back to Vindicator although about 5 generations back. My main AI sire is a 4th generation GK Renegade, so in short no I don't really use US genetics, although a big portion of my herd has some US influence. Our conditions are unique and require hardy cattle, importing semen seldom yields very good results in the first generation, but once the foreign genetics are diluted a bit more with local blood they usually come to the fore through grandsons of imported genetics. There are quite a few good bulls around in the USA, but what is good and usefull in my opinion are seldom the popular genetics of the day. It would be foolish to make a recommendation over the internet on which bull to use with absolutely no idea what your cattle looks like or without any knowledge of your conditions [/QUOTE]
