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.wzcattle":aqq7mxk7 said:Tbrake":aqq7mxk7 said:Wish I could find some confidence plus to use.

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 have some bred to comrade, but none on the ground. I plan on breeding quite a few cows to United in April.
