OK, used an angus bull AI called Baldridge Lancelot. His CED is +10 and BW is 1.3. I used him on a comercial cow. Never gave it a thought about keeping him. Ive never weighed at birth. Anyhow after looking @ him I decided not to cut him. So now Im thinking about using him as a heiffer bull. I decided to do a Pfizer 50K test on him. The test came back with a CED on him with 6.2. My Genex rep said that they normally recomend 7 or higher for CED. 5-6 for registared guys. Called the people that owned Lancelot. He stated that he did work on heiffers, but was a tad bit on the big side. Said if they were bigger framed it would proably be alright. The mother of my bull is a big cow. My heiffer bull was bought in 2007. Thinking about AIing the heiffers and trying my bull as clean up. Most of the heiffers will be angus or black baldie. Some of the Hereford cows have a tick of semital in them. Guessing thats a ways back. Also a very, very tid bit of Charlois way way back in a small handfull. I can sell them if I want.
So would you roll the dice or not?
