I would opt for Insight because he has more growth and more milk. If you get a heifer you are building a nice little herd.  When you look at a calf and he or she isn't growing as fast as the other calves it's pretty frustrating. Your heifer is really nice.  I haven't seen a lot of Journey calves...

I have some yearling Angus bull calves and a couple have some dull coats. They have been dewormed and are on a quality show feed. I have been looking at some Sun Glo products and Healthy Coat. I don't have the facilities to brush them.  Any thoughts?

Hoover Dam is a bull that breeders keep going back to.  There are a lot of people who love Sav Resource but his milk epd is a little lower. Coleman Charlo 0256 is another bull that you may look at.

This kind of thing always affects your best calf. I am not a show person, but maybe she needs a little time to get over being separated. However, if she is in the stall waiting to stomp you I would go to my bench and pick another heifer to work with.  If she hurts someone (who may not be a...

I have Brahman-Holstein, Brahman-Brown Swiss, and Brahman-Jersey. In the past I used a Jersey-Holstein. a few years ago I bought a really clean looking Holstein heifer and raised her to use as a recip. She had the calf and cleaned it off but wouldn't allow it to nurse. That's where you have...

How would it be possible to come up with a list of calves without registering them?              Not sure anyone would volunteer to put that list together. If you are in a business of any kind you have to watch trends.  You don't have to agree with them.

Cowboy, You are exactly right...I was wondering if Pursuit's mother was so outstanding that I would want to add her genetics.  Pursuit looks a little smoother...you can't always tell by photos...not sure if there are videos on either bull. By the way, any problems calving out Resource...

Cowboy, What do you think of Pursuit?  I know Herbster paid a lot of money for his mother.

Bullseye has another son that looks good...Hoover No Doubt. I haven't used him but thinking about it. SAV Patron is pretty nice. I have a little bull calf by SAV Pursuit, also by SAV Pioneer that I really like.  When people talk about Final Answer sons they don't talk about Pioneer but he has...

What is your favorite calf or calves this year...and who is their daddy?

Cowboy, No apologies necessary. I am glad to get first-hand information.  I don't get to visit sales or shows. As long as you are not having problems with calving or maternal calving ease that's the important thing. The epds would have scared me off without your feedback. I really like that day...

I thought you all liked scale-breaking, big-framed cattle in Canada. Thanks so much for your feedback.

I surprised that my Genex rep said that there is a wait for SAV Renown but Resource is available. They are full brothers or siblings...Renown seems to be larger frame...is that and better CED epds the main difference? Thanks.

Cowboy, What a nice bull.  Ideal head.  I am just a little skeptical that a +20 CED heifer could have a +20 CEM. Your explanation makes sense.  And to your point a 50 pound calf has a lot of catching up to do with a 80 pound calf. Thanks so much for your feedback.

Cowboy, I truly appreciate your first-hand experience. I like larger animals myself.  I used to have fullblood Fleckviehs...including one from the Klondike herd in Canada.  The bulls just don't work for a number of reasons.  Now, another question for you.  You have a bull with a +20 for CED, -3...

I still don't understand how his -9 CEM isn't a problem.  You would think that his daughters would be train wrecks calving as heifers.  How can his number be so extreme and yet he is so popular?  I kept looking at Renown and Resource and I would go for Resource.  Brings you back to the idea...

I actually hadn't heard of Imprint before. I heard of Kodiak and his full brother. Your bull is really nice and the Imprint calves look good.  I think a Connealy bull that is getting attention is Connealy Countdown. Your program is impressive. 

Thanks, Cowboy, Do you all breed to any Connealy bulls?  I haven't heard much of International.  Thanks for the info. I saw a really nice Resource son in a sale catalog for Gretsch Angus.  Lot 1. http://www.angusjournal.com/salebooks/gretsch010717/#page/5

Cowboy, Thanks for the feedback.  I loved the eye appeal of Resource but was scared of the maternal calving ease epd.  Are there any other bulls you like? Thanks again.
