Wish I could find some confidence plus to use. I guess he has quit collecting?
I'm going to be using
Connealy v-eight
Connealy United
Var discovery
Var eldorado

Still undecided on what to use on heifers. Was going to use confidence plus. These are on my list
RR easy express
Connealy comrade
Fortress

Genex rep told me Confidence Plus stopped producing. Our first calves of Confidence Plus just hit the ground a week ago and they have more bone and width than I expected for a +14 CED bull, but most of ours have not been short gestation, full term mostly. Very pleased so far with them. I was at Connealys sale when United and Comrade sold. Looked over the United bull and liked him very well but never have used him. Didn't look at Comrade. What are your thoughts on United and Comrade?
I would not recommend United for heifers as my rep suggested me. On my gelbvieh heifers I had some around 80 lbs. the head and shoulders were shaped nicely, but still a little bigger than I want my heifers having. The oldest one is right at 1 month, so can't tell much. So far the are my most impressive calves. Incredibly thick, and stand outs over the other calves. I have reknown, eldorado, and chisum calves on the ground around the same age.
I have some bred to comrade, but none on the ground. I plan on breeding quite a few cows to United in April.
 
Haven't ordered anything yet. SS Niagara, possibly Fortress or Combination, Broken Bow on heifers. If I AI cows we will most likely go with Connealy Mentor and Connealy Spur.
 
We breed for fall calves so already out of the tank into the cow:

Buford Pathfinder
Bruin Torque
SAV Reign
SAV Resource
SAV Abundance
Coleman EXT 61449
Bon View Emulation EXT 473
Coleman Charlo

We have some new stuff this year, based solely on finishing them out.

3F Epic and Byergo Blackstone.

Our flushes, for maternal will be MGR Treasure (sexed) and a SAV that we haven't quite pondered hard enough yet. I'm waiting to get the Genomics back on one of our heifers. Her EPDs aren't all there. May flush her to our Styles Up N Coming because he makes some nice looking females too.

Have some other stuff we bought a few of. Some from Game On, SAV Sensation, SAV Resource, etc... because we've used them in the past and like their calves. I know the stop at Herbster, on way down to Byergo resulted in some other Semen purchased but I haven't seen what was bought yet.
 
Still doing some research, but this is the list I'm pondering so far:
LD Capitalist 316 (Heifers)
Connealy Legendary
CTS Remedy
TEX Playbook (looking for a Payweight son)
Ellingston Homestead

Need to look up these bulls a little more and see what they are producing out there.
 
Acclaim
Bismarck female sexed
Rampage female sexed
Right Time
Colonel
Expand
Weigh Up
Lookout

I may also use a freightliner. My favorite herd sire ever was out of freightliner. I know he's not a huge name but I loved that herd sire out of him. He was awesome. He finally got old and I held onto him a year too long and he lost it. Broke three gates and went nuts. I still miss him to this day.

My favorite Payweight son by far is Payweight Plus at ABS

38 is a stout milk epd. Probably too high for us. Has anyone seen a frame score on him or his daddy?
 
In all likelihood, I'm going with:
* S A V Resource 1441 (for mature cows)
* K Bar D Joe Canada (on a couple of cows hoping for show heifers for the nephew and niece)
* MGR Treasure (for heifers)

I looked at Payweight Plus and like the looks of him, but looking for something without Consensus as I already have enough of him in my females.

Not sure yet. I emailed my provider last night and still haven't heard back to see if they have any on hand. I'm hoping so!
