[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 688139, member: 7645"] I did not say that at all; but if we are talking about "stocky"; frame 5.9 and six something at weaning IS "stocky" and we ARE either directly or indirectly in the business of producing calves for the feeder calf market. I won't talk about his daughters (either positively or negatively) until I have actually seen some; but 9126J did sire a lot of cattle that did work on real ranch conditions and this bull is a little more moderate framed than his illustrious sire. I think the term you are looking for is you would like to see him heavier boned. I agree with that; but if you look at the Angus "curvebenders" and heifer specialists most of them are equally "fineboned". I think that just comes with the territory of chasing the lightest birth weight number possible. All that said, the 32 milk number alone would scare me away from using him at this time, unless you were just using him too fix cows with poor milk EPDs. [/QUOTE]
