Het Black bulls I like the bulls from the Dominance line, Harkers Crusader or HARKERS/JS DOMINATION look good. Crusader semen is available from http://www.c-morbeef.com/herdsires.htm and Domination is on Cattle Visions.

We had six Grandmaster calves out of Bred Heifers that all releate back to Dream On this year with no issues at all 65-75 lbs. Absolutely loved their early vigor or get up and go. The calves all look pretty good at this point being about a month old. The only complaint I've heard about him is...
