[QUOTE="herefordchick, post: 621038, member: 8664"] Alan, I ordered my semen direct from Tommy. He is an asset to the breed - if you ever have a question on his cattle never hesitate to call. I may be biased as I consider him a good friend but it is because of his dedication to the breed and his integrity as a breeder that we have become friends. You can look up his website [url=http://www.meadcattle.com]http://www.meadcattle.com[/url] for more info and contact numbers. If you have not had many 29F daughters of your own - you may not know although 29F is known or his milk EPD you will get some that have a little larger teat size than we would select for. I haven't had any horrible ones myself but a longer teat does happen on occasion from that line. I used 29F several years and also got almost exclusively bull calves. You guys will love this - I was soo happy with 29F on CE and growth - I was using him on baldy and commercial 1st calf heifers. This was back when semen was 25 a straw or 20 if you took a whole cane. I think 9036 is going to make Durango a stronger maternal breeding bull than 29F. Since you are in the West - you may want to contact Ned & Jan Ward in WY. They are great people to work with as well and they also own part of Durango. I believe they had him collected at Origen but I could be wrong on that. If you call well ahead of your breeding season you may find they can help you with the shipping. I think ABS markets some bulls collected at Origen - maybe your ABS rep could be helpful as well. Most of my cows are bred to Durango & Nasdaq for this year - I expect I will mainly see bull calves! I swear the mark of a great bull is when he throws nothing but bulls for me. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
