Interesting that you brought up frame. I have read a lot about CC7 siring a lot of frame and leg. I also have a CC7 in the tank, I have not used it due to what I have read about his frame size being a 7?
Have never used or had any direct progeny of CC&7. So can't comment about his tendencies.
What does your heifer look like? What are her strengths? What are her weaknesses? That's how you choose a bull. Pedigree means nothing if you breed two animals together with the same flaws.
Deep , stout and wide. She is still young. I will post a pic.
If u stay in the cows line u cant go wrong.
Thers no way to tell what bull to use with out looking at the peg. If these heifers are kippers u need to breed back into the cow family to keep what u got if u breed out side the cow family you dont know now what you got if ur breeding for market calf find the bull with the fastest gain and nd u need to have a plan to breed into that plan. IF your breeding for keepers put on the cow and pick a bull out of the cow family u breed out u have know idea u might most likley wont like like what u get
(facepalm)
This was my thought too, looking purely at pedigree. However a visual often tells another story as I think @Travlr is correct in saying…breeding pedigree only, does not necessary check the right boxes.
I agree and never breed my own on pedigree alone however I did say not seeing the heifer and just going off pedigree's. I don't disagree with you or Travlr.
I'll buy all the CC7 semen you want to sell!! For the heifer, if you have heifer sexed Bismarck semen that's what I would use. Knowing my heifer is having a heifer as her first calf just makes all of life simpler for me. And he's a good bull on top of that.
