[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4834"] I did a search on the AAA website and found the bull I think you are refering to. His numbers do suggest he will calve heifers very easily, his sire is proven in this area. One thing to consider is why is Select promoting him? He is from a bull they own an interest in. A.I. studs don't always put the best bulls they can find in their line-up, they have deals on the go and use contacts they have. Nothing wrong with that, but don't think they have a corner on all the good bulls. You posted above about Chiangus, the bloodline on this bull isn't the direction you would want to go if the Chiangus idea is what you are after. A bull I would reccomend for that is Hoff Ultra sc 108. He will calve very easily ands throw some snap in the calves. His biggest drawback is he throws white from the 6t6 Ultra line. Not a big deal if you are raising commercial cattle, but too much white for purebred breeders. I would continue to use him except for the white he throws on some calves.
