Much better pic.  thanks, Glenstory.  I really appreciate his calving ease and $W numbers.  He doesn't appear to be a pud by any means either.

I have to agree with Glenstory on this as the CEM on both bulls is way too low.  I bred to BC Lookout for 2 years and will probably stop using him due to CEM of +1 (only used 5 shots and everything has been bulls so far out of cows with good CEM).  If going to run Angus based clubbies, it seems to me that the CEM on the parent stock needs to be at least 5 or 6 and 10 would be better.  Looking at BC Classic 385-7 here too in lieu of Lookout due to the much higher CEM.

We used Northern Improvement on a deep ribbed Maine heifer and the heifer calf is shaping up really nice.  Surprisingly short-statured and definitely stout with some bone to her.  I suspect she is going to put on some frame soon though.

Has anybody used JSAR Rodman?  If so, how did that turn out?
WOW just saw  JSAR Rodman for first time what a great looking bull and he does have great numbers do you know of any others just like him that are a bit more moderate

Saw about 30 young bulls out of Rodman at MCF and they were a very consistent set.  Sout, Moderate, Deep, and Functional...nothing too extreme but very consistent.  I was extremely impressed!

Anybody seen Rodman heifers?  I may have to make a little road trip this spring.  Seems they sell 20 or 30 breds during their spring bull sale.

Would Anchor or the Anchor clone work on heifers.  Also, Thinking BC Lookout on first calf heifers.  Would anyone have reservations with that? Also, Is there any Anchor Clone calves out there? How do they look?

Thomas...BC Lookout can be used on heifers, but, from our experience, they need to be closely managed.  They WILL NOT calve as easily as the Legends, though we like the end product better.  Our Lookouts have all come out of high percentage Simmental heifers, so that adds some weight to the birthweight equation.  Our 1/2 blood Lookouts in production have all been good milkers....some of the Legends can get a little short in that regard.
