I used 3 units last year, 1 calf. Had a 84 lb sold black heifer calf out of a BWF simmy x cow. I'm just shocked as the mother is painted up like a son of a gun that it come out solid. A little over on her front feet yet. Very thick and very hairy but other bulls will do that at half the price and stick a few more. I'm not one to be scared of high priced bulls as long as there is a reason. I'd like to know why he got jacked up I guess......

From what Chris Wilson told me he got hurt and is doing good but they won't try and collect him again until at least May.  We use a lot of him and like the results, I just put
another 30 units in my tank at OBE.  We got great conception rate with him.  The cows we bred to Eye Candy and Smiln' Bob had very high conception rates.

[size=10pt][size=10pt]So while we are talking about him, what would you breed an Eye Candy daughter(dam is a Dr. Who) to? She got the TH carrier gene, so it has to be something that is TH free.[/size][/size]We are just trying to brainstorm some ideas right now.

I would have to agree, he does not warrant the price jump, not when there's bulls like monopoly 2, bojo, bodacious ect. I'm glad I have a few straws ofhim my tank but, I won't be adding any more.
Bojo sure isn't cheap anymore though fwiw.......

I am with you all. I was gonna use EC on a few cows, and I just believe for the price I can find a bull that will do the same thing. I was gonna use Jimmy the Greek I think on those same cows that need downsizing and some depth of body and hair? hopefully? What are some opinions on that?

I have an Eye Candy heifer this year that I'm going to breed to Breathe Easy for the first calf. Traush farms seems to have a lot of good calves from this cross so itll be interesting what will happen.
