[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1803051, member: 22295"] Without more information especially frame size, mature weight, terrain type, ect it is hard to make good suggestions. Like others have mentioned Hoover Dam has worked well in our herd. We have selected more for performance, efficiency and at least a 6.0 frame size when we selected sons and grandsons to use. Our HD influenced cows have plenty of frame. They are fertile and stay in the herd for years. Not sure what some call extreme weight as it varies with each person. We have had 1,500-1,600 lb cows still producing and sound at 18 years of age. As long as they have the bone and foot structure to carry the weight. We have calves by an AI sire now that I’m very concerned about. Not enough foot and bone structure to carry the load. You said proven sires. Bismarck is another solid sire. Have seen some Final Answer daughters in herds that were solid. [/QUOTE]
