I am starting to look at sires to use this year. I have always liked Silverias Style but curious with all of the sons out there would you consider using one of them over Style himself? Looking at GQ or Pokerface or Style himself.

Also have a second-calf cow that is pretty darn complete the only thing i really hate about her is that she has a super high tailhead. Wondering if there is a bull that has been known to fix this problem.

Thanks!

I did break down and buy 10 straws on a EXAR Classen son, EF Colossal.  I also bought 10 of his maternal brother EF Titan (SAV Harvestor) who won Supreme Bull at Canadian Western Agribition (our version of Denver I suppose).  Normally I stay far away from show winners (and Express blood in general) but if the dam (also pictured) can churn out calves like that I feel she has a place in my program. Time will tell if I was blinded by banners and feed or if there's something to it.  As of today I am pretty excited to try them out. Colossal on the Net Worth, Resource influenced females.  Titan on the Kodiak, Upward bloodlines.

I personally think there are better options out there than styles, he will make um pretty but you'll sacrifice a lot...numbers aren't great and not enough performance!

I don't know if hes producing yet, but I really liked the BPF Angus bull Timbercreek (I think that's his name) I talked to Cory with them and he said that bull is the real deal. Hes free of the angus defects to boot. Only thing is prob not a bull to use on heifers.
