Just curious if those of you who have used, or are planning on using, Victor Boomer have noticed the rather large change in CED and BW. I thought it was very interesting how I had heard rumors on this board leading me to believe that the current numbers are closer to correct. I am actually quite glad I took those rumors to heart when picking an AI sire for my heifers. Not saying that he is a complete trainwreck, only that in going from a 1.1 to a -7.3 on CED in one calving season has got to indicate lots of calving difficulty, or at least in my feable little mind. I have been looking at some numbers on potential heifers that I may buy and the ones sired by Victor Boomer have been in the 85-100lb actual BW range. Anyone want to share some personal experieces with Victor Boomer births? I'd like to hear both good and bad.
