Welter Bros Angus said:Personally, I believe that raindance is the pick of the flush as far as I'm concerned. From what I've seen at schaffs, he produced the most consistent looking calves and has the best epd profile. I've talked to Mohnens, and they believe he is the pick of the flush as well. For frame scores, raindance produces a very good 6 score while rainfall will produce smaller than desired, and President is kind of all over the place. I am worried with raindances calves temperaments, but I'm going to use him on calm cows. Also, I talked to a breeder in Kansas that believes that the cowboy up daughters are too hot for him. He really likes the bulls, but has not been impressed with the docility on the females. I am going to use rainfall a little bit this year on some heifers and will use raindance on a third of my cows. I plan to also use raindances son, emblem. He is $209 on $B and being out of a phenomenal 9969 cow, should produce some awesome females that have more dollar values than traditional sav bulls.
I think your pretty spot on. We only had a few Cowboy Ups that were a little nervous, but ours were a few bulls.
