I am looking for something to use on a Red Balancer and possibly some Red Gelbvieh. What is the experiences or knowledge on him. I am not familiar with RA as I have Black Gelbvieh and Balancers. Just have a few Red ones. Looking to go the RA way.
We've never kept a daughter from him. His calves are smallish at birth and come very easily and quickly. Calves have weaned in the mid 5s, hung at an average YG 2.5, QG mid choice.JMichal":h6r118zs said:I haven't heard anyone talk abou this Bull http://abs-bs.absglobal.com/beef/redang ... o=29AR0187

3waycross":pspfe5pr said:His CEM, EPD is one of the worst in the breed. Must be a pelvic issue for it to be that bad, similar to Cherokee Canyon, only not as bad. Looks like a good terminal sire tho. I could be wrong but it seems like I heard something messed up about him just can' remember what it was.

Send a PM to "Julian" he has a new young bull that is being looked at by a couple studs. It is out of a Beckton bull B571 I believe. He is a good looking bull.

Thanks Jeff
WT, Here is some info on the bull Jeff is referring. His name is Steadfast Boaz T71.
Here is the link to Boaz's online pedigree info:
http://search.redangus.org/animal/1158668
Here is a link to a CattleToday thread that tells more about him as well:
http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=32341&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
Boaz is a 2/25/2007 double-grandson of TR Julian LT142. We have contacted Joe and Connie Mushrush about purchasing semen on LT142. They are no longer making it available as they have few units left.
Boaz calved unassisted at 75# out of a first calf heifer. His dam, a daughter of LT142, was the high-selling open heifer at the 2006 Mushrush-Beckton joint sale. Those that have seen her have commented favorably. After she calved Boaz she went into our fall program and didn't have a calf nursing on her after Boaz until 10/4/2008. Last winter we dry-lotted (spoiled) our cows with free choice high quality brome and prairie hay. In April 2008, Boaz's dam was almost embarrassingly fat at 1300 pounds and a BCS of 7. This fall she gave birth to a 3/4 brother to Boaz (BW 74#) on October 4th is holding her shape well, but she's not going to be 1300 pounds this April from nursing her fall calf. Some would refer to her as a moderate cow. She more than knows how to stay in shape when having the resources to do so.
Boaz is sired by a son of LT142, Mushrush Rocket P016, the high gainer of his contemporary group and the high-seller in the 2005 Mushrush-Beckton sale. Unfortunately P016 sired only a few calves before suffering an injury. We are fortunate to have a son of P016.
A few days before Boaz weighed 1005 pounds he produced Ultra Sound data of 3.98% IMF and 11.59 REA. He combines positive carcass EPD's with numbers indicating calving ease and growth: CED of 14 (top 3% of breed), a -2.4 BW EPD (top 12% of breed), and a YW EPD of 64, well above breed average. This comes with a ME EPD of -2 (top 5% of breed). Boaz had a yearling scrotal measurement of 35cm.
His HPG EPD is 14 (top 2% of breed), CEM of 8 (top 4% of breed), STAY of 18 (top 1% of breed) and fat of -0.01 (top 5% of breed).
He may be able to do a lot for quite a few cow herds.
Semen is currently available.
