[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1546183, member: 37967"] We began AI'ng them last month, nearly 2/3rd's are settled. This bull gave us 13 female calves from 12/22/2015 till 10/02/2017. He also has 4 sons that are in production. Two of those sons have sired nearly 50 calves on a commercial herd, the other two are breeding cows and heifers during the fall-winter season, with excellent results (as far as getting them settled) so far. Add up all the production from this one animal and you will see he was was a bargain at $5k. I also owe his success to Apex Angus, which is in his bloodline along with MYTTY in Focus. Right now I have 4 of his sons left to sell, all are service ready. As for how Stone Gate operates, we have used a lot of bulls from them over the years and only once was there a fertility issue, they replaced him immediately, no questions asked. Charles Cannon and his brother Jere Cannon are REAL CATTLEMEN and the whole family are first class, hard-working people. It bothers me when I see people talk garbage about someone when it's simply not true. Will every bull out of Stone Gate be a winner, I doubt it, but they are VERY consistent overall, and like I said will deal with problems if they are the fault of Stone Gate. Dig deep into their bloodlines and you will see the best sires were used all throughout the 70's when AI really took hold in the Angus breed. BTW, one of his daughters who is from the 16 year old cow, is due to give birth to a SAV Elation 7899 calf very soon, I will keep you filled in on how that turns out. What's special about the old gal (16 year old) is that she still carries herself well, has excellent feet and is still fertile. That's a big plus in my book. [/QUOTE]
