[QUOTE="J+ Cattle, post: 1811535, member: 4063"] [USER=22295]@elkwc[/USER] as a general rule I do not like the SAV cattle much because they tend to have higher BW, higher MW and lower marbling than I like. I always question their advertised weaning weights of >1000 lbs. because I've never had one come close to that. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe I don't have the same feed resources that they have. I wouldn't use this sire on heifers, because he has a BW EPD of +2.6 and an actual birth weight of 91 lbs, but he would be fine on mature cows. When I look at the pedigree of this sire, he has the SAV prefix on his name but, I see lots of non-SAV influence that I like. Based strictly on the pedigree I would expect him to sire good functional cattle, I too would like to see some of his calves. [/QUOTE]
