[QUOTE="Angus In Texas, post: 722634, member: 5611"] Well she is a Riverbend Mile High daughter out of a Future Direction daughter going back to GAR Ext 614 on her dam's side. Makes her a double bred rita. GAR Ext 544 and GAR Ext 614 are sisters. Her reg # is 15800823. She tested AMF and NHF. However, her sire is AMC/NHF and her dam is NHC/AMF. None of the genetic defects had come to light when she was sold. And honestly the only reason she is worth $15,000 is because that is what someone was willing to pay for her. Now don't get me wrong, she is incredibly thick and phenotypically correct. Her ultrasound data was superb along with her growth when compared to her contemporaries. She doesn't stand out in any one category but puts together a nice well rounded package, that at the end of the day, is what we strive to breed. Mile High would have been a breed changer in my honest opinion, had the he tested free for genetic defects. His progeny are some of the most impressive cattle I have seen..... doesn't matter what you breed him to, they just stood out. For being a 1407 son, his daughters have very good rear structure and udder quality. Two of 1407's biggest flaws. I honestly don't believe in outrageous prices for cattle other than possibly stud bulls that will bring in money through the sale of semen, but if someone is willing to pay then I am more than willing to reap the benefits.
