[QUOTE="dbird33, post: 1561707, member: 30465"] I believe SAV has an amazing program. Obviously they are doing something right, but that doesn't mean their genetics will work for every program. SAV has a lot of good bulls, but I don't think every bull that goes to stud with the SAV prefix is automatically a must have, must use bull. I would stick to bulls that are pretty proven and or fit your program. If you retain ownership, SAV may not be right for you. It doesn't seem like they focus much on carcass value traits. On the other side, I use SAV in my herd and don't have any issues with the genetics. Specifically, I think Resource is a great bull. I have five of his calves and every one of them has been thicker and stouter than the dam. Also plan on using Raindance and President some this year, hoping to get similar looks to the resource calves with a touch more calving ease. Overall, my takeaway is don't use the bull just because it has SAV in front of the name and don't avoid the bull just because it has SAV in front of the name. [/QUOTE]
