[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 402334, member: 2095"] There was a time ~15 years ago where I would recommend a Horned line one as a commercial sire over any of the then prevalent polled genetics. At the moment, I would prefer to buy a polled sire, preferably with no recent line one blood in it. I would be reluctant to buy a horned bull right now, because there is no growth advantage to the horned bull (I can get more growth, milk, or muscle from either than I really need) and there is a shadow over the Line Ones because of this "shaker" syndrome. I would have to get on the phone and really get the low down on just what exactly is going on with what lines before I could even begin to consider purchasing a horned bull or a polled one with line one genetics close by in the pedigree. We will know a lot more 10-12 months from now. [/QUOTE]
