[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1128025, member: 17767"] Thanks to all for the help. cowgirl8: this is limited to semen selection in which case you get a picture view of the bull. I look at the picture. I look at the EPDs and the narrative. For example, I liked War Party because the narrative specifically says he has excellent feet. FlyingLSimmentals: My JF Milestone heifer, she is AI'd to In Force. Fire Sweep Ranch ran the EPDs on the cross. They are outstanding. He has good CE for heifers. I got Rasin Cane for the WW and YW. He brings Upgrade genes into my herd. Redcowsrule: I plan to lean heavy toward AI. I enjoy the procedure. It keeps me busy doing something I like. I did recently get a Bull (Rocking P; 5/8 Simmental, 3/8 Angus; I just got his BSE on Thursday: Performed by Dr. Darin Stansfield. His scrotal circumference was 42 cm at 18 months old, Concentration of cells & motility was outstanding, anatomy of cells was 92 % plus, he passed every critera with flying colors. Darin did the work at my farm; oil emersion microscope on-site. I have heard stories of incomplete BSEs. I was able to watch every step.) Hey, you and Fire Sweep ranch should get into a mudslinging contest on Grandmaster. :lol: I said the same thing you did about Grandmaster when she recommended him to me but she will tell you all you have to do is see his progeny and you will forget his EPDs. Our UK county agent is in total agreement with FSR. They have PB simmentals and have used Grandmaster with excellent results in the show ring.
