So on RB Angus and Show Cattle they are selling embryos that are "full sibs to the recently deceased club calf sire Bodacious" hmmm!

Could easily happen. They could have both bought embryos that were ful sibs to the bull for instance.

Bodacious died over a year ago. Mab is injured and as of a month ago still out of production according to wade. They do hope that he can get back to freezing semen. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

That explains why is $250+ a unit did bodacious die from natural causes or were they just "making space" I find it hard to believe that they would get rid of a bull like that on purpose

pushing a bull as hard as Matt did and not really getting the awesome results he was hoping for.... doesn't surprise me! Weird that a lot of club calf people I know didn't even know he was gone.... and I just sold the only straw I had last month... its ok he didn't click with anything I had.

I only saw one choppin wood steer that was ever worth anything and he still wasn't worth much. I would just find it difficult to pull the trigger breeding cluby calves to a grey clubby bull

I saw Choppin Wood a couple days before they pronounced him dead. So don't know about him.

We had a good steer out of a Habanero Granddaughter and Bodacious. Flushed her to Bodacious last spring and got 6 eggs, put in 3.

I'm curious what kind of cows you guys used bodacious on and what he didn't click with? I was thinking of using him a bit more. I only had one bodacious heifer born and shes been incredible for us, super sound great structure choke necked. She made the final round at every show she entered, and always caused a commotion. Probably one of the best tempered calves I have had born, just so easy going.

I used him in '12 on some maine/angus cows that needed "powered up"... a lot of sheath and throat on the bull calves.... the heifers were better than the bulls but nothing to fancy
