[QUOTE="herefordchick, post: 620950, member: 8664"] Alan - I have used Durango and am a BIG fan of the bull. He absolutely is a calving ease bull. On heifers you can use him as you would Legend - but expect quite a bit more growth & a lot more muscle expression. His EPD's have only improved with each evaluation. This is the third spring I will be expecting Durango calves and I ordered more semen on the bull last week to use again this spring. As far as how the daughters udders hold up it is too early to tell, the maternal side of his pedigree leads me to believe he will improve udders. Durango just turned 5 himself. I did see some daughters in production last year and they were doing a nice job with their calves. Unfortunately my first calf crop out of him was all bulls so I don't have any of my own in production yet. According to the database he has 13 daughters in production with an ave ratio of 103 - pretty good for youngsters. I saw Durangos dam 9036 (a 10 year old with a beautiful udder) and bought embryos out of her. I believe 9036 will prove to transmit even stronger udder quality traits than 29F. Hope this helps.
