I am looking in a semen tank and was wondering if these bulls are worth anything or if people are still using any of them.  I will only list some on the list and if you know anything about one please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Ice Pick, Iceberg,dirty Harry,MJ Easy, Lifeline, Evander, Wonder,Hairy Crumb,Foreplay, Prowler, Direct Hit just to name a few.  I could list more older bulls later.  I might be cleaning out my tanks soon.

thanks!

Not an expert but I'd think the Lifeline semen is still in demand.

I don't know about the others.

The ice pick , foreplay, and dirty hairy is great maternal semen. Direct hit is still useful as well!

What are they worth?  I am thinking about selling some old semen that is in the tank.  I Have a lot of older semen that I might try and sell.

There are several females that show up with some of those bulls in their pedigree.There are a few bulls that the semen such as Meyer 734 that sells well but usually due to the popularity and promotion the calves out of known newer bulls seem to sell better.Foreplay made some nice females.Cloning has made it possible to extend the popularity of a proven bull.Bulls such as Heat Wave and Monopoly have dominated the show ring for many years and show up in the pedigree of many new bulls.

I sent a PM to everyone that asked about the semen I have. Like I said I may be selling some of it or all of it if there is interest.
