Hello,
I'm looking to breed my two registered shorthorn heifers in June for spring 2017 calves...
They are both roans, and I would like to have roan calves from them. I would like functional, correct, long lived cattle, and have no interest in show cattle. If I could get sexed semen, that would be great as well, so I could get heifer calves to keep...
I am relatively new to cattle, and have no experience with AI.
I have a local (central Maryland) Select Sires rep. I assume Select Sires agents only use Select Sires products... Or is my assumption incorrect? They have JSF Capiche. Capiche looks like show stock to my untrained eye...Anybody have any experience with Capiche on heifers? What do his daughters turn out like?
It looks like Cattle Visions has Saskvalley Yesterday... This bull would probably give me a decent shot at calving ease, throw roan calves on my roan heifers, and from what I have read, start my genetics in a good maternal direction...
Anybody have thoughts, knowing what direction I want to go? Go with Capiche, or beat the bushes for somebody to use Yesterday?
Thanks in advance for the help!
