[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1412260, member: 20754"] Waihou- It is great to see you on the boards again! We currently have 4 Balmoral Elation calves, 3 bulls and a heifer. Two of the bulls will most likely be castrated and put into our beef program. However, the other bull (709) and the heifer calf (704) are turning into some really solid individuals. I have heard from an Australian breeder that has used him that his heifers are really nice, but his bulls can be hit and miss. We actually used some sexed semen, and the best two Balmoral Elation calves are from the cows that we used sexed semen on, but got a calf of the opposite gender. Looking at the calves, I am glad that it worked out that way. Our Under the Radar bull looked really good at weaning, but went through an awkward phase this past winter and he has never quite grown out of it. He has a lot of length, but is not as deep bodied as we would like him to be. Our other yearlings are starting to really broaden more and look like bulls, but our Under the Radar bull has yet to do so. We will probably be castrating him in the next 3 weeks. Even though this bull will be beef, I really like your Radar progeny and the Wozny's Radar calves up in Ohio, so we will be experimenting with him a bit more in the future. [/QUOTE]
