I-80's as Momma's?

Found an I-80 heifer that I really liked and got her bought. I know their capabilities in the show ring, but I haven't heard too much about how they are working in the pastures? Any experiences?

Thanks!

I agree with that. But I would like to hear of some real experience with these specific females.

My I-80 X HOO-DOO first calf heifer, just calved unassisted out of an angus bull, milks great and as good of a mama as you can ask for. Calf doesn't look too bad either.

Congrats and thanks for the response. Any idea who you will breed her to next?

Thanks, next I was thinking a bull by the name of Smokin Bob seems to me like he'd be a good fit for these slick shows here in TX. Always looking for suggestions though.
You won't be disappointed the an I80 mama. I wonder why his semen is already high priced.?

Probably demand but I think they went thru a small spell where he didn't collect that well.  Did your I80 X Hoo Doo come out of the Cream Of Crop Sale?
