[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1579711, member: 37967"] I totally agree with the EPD’s. Here is why I didn’t cut him. Stone Gate who like SAV does not test any animal from what I can tell, used the sire extensively. Now I don’t know if you know Charles Cannon, but he is a fine cattleman, he started Stone Gate with his brother Jere in the 1950’s, recently they were chosen for the CAB barn painting, and if I’m not mistaken Charles was President of AAA for a while. He’s known far and wide in the cattle business for sure. He talked to me briefly about 3870 and was highly confident in him. Like you, I couldn’t understand why, but who am I to argue with someone who has almost 70 years experience and runs 450 registered cows, not to mention has a cult like following around this area. When I spoke with Frei Angus, they spoke very highly of 3870 and even more so Jim Willson who bred him. So when I thought about those two operations going all in on 3870, I decided to keep Pure Alpha intact. I can’t post it at the moment because I’m up to my eyeballs in hay, but I some excellent video of a 3870 heifer/daughter I have, she’s a VERY nice animal, and I think you will understand why I’m looking a bit closer at 3870 and 46P after seeing this heifer develop.
