[QUOTE="Air gator, post: 1389174, member: 20755"] I haven't seen anything out of him but just to let you know that he was ranked 2nd in the Angus breed for number of calves registered for the fiscal year 2016. He wasn't in the top 25 in 2015. The photos I have seen of his calves look like he throws long calves. Some seem to have a lot of bone but were described as not clubby-type bone. I think he took a lot of abuse because his original epds were much higher for growth. In the Spring 2014 ABS catalog he had a WW epd of +91 and YW of +148. Now he has +67 for WW and +122 YW. That may have to do with his pedigree correction. His mother was registered as being out of DHD Traveler 6807 but after DNA testing it was discovered that she was sired by Vermillion Dateline. If he were calving ease I would probably take a chance on him. Since he's not, I will have to wait. I know that breeders chase fads but breeders must have seen something they liked to put him second in the breed for purebred calves [/QUOTE]
