friction semen question

[Gargan]

I have heard of some semen quality problems with friction. I've seen cane code xx0039  and ca2673 on his semen. Is either noteable as being better quality? Just curious. Thanks in advance for any input.

I never used him personally. I do have a few friends who did. They were able to get a few cows stuck to him but out of two flushes and 18 unfertilized eggs they had had enough. I have also herd others say they had bad luck with him.

Select sires was carrying his full sib traction.

I did use the brother from select. After I saw the calves my lawn mower took care of the rest of my inventory. I was not impressed. He did not click with my cows.
