[QUOTE="simme, post: 1817065, member: 40418"] Yes, he was born in 2000. Half brother to the very popular at the time Dream On bull. Semen is still listed on the Hook Farm website at $125/straw with very limited supply. But that website may not be updated any more. I think I have a couple of straws. Shear force appears in a lot of pedigrees. Calving ease, low bw, high milk, docility, stayability, carcass traits are the strengths. Growth is not. A maternal bull. Sort of the opposite of the Dream on bull in some ways. Dream on sired a bunch of show calves during the early 2000's and saw a lot more use, I think. Dream on made a LOT of money for ABS and the owners. ABS had him and their most popular angus bull at the time in an air conditioned barn with daily exercise on the grass. Most bulls at an AI stud don't have such nice housing. Of those 2 half brothers, the one that had the most positive influence long term on the breed - might be shear force. There is probably still a good bit of semen out there - a few straws here and there in semen tanks over the country. [/QUOTE]
