Sounds like a great plan to me, considering the track record of his maternal side. The fact that he is not appendix free or red tosses me out on him but I would still help you any way I can to get the semen to you. It sucks that I have to worry about color so much instead of just focusing on breeding the best cattle I can but I just cannot market colored bulls in my area and have found a close correlation with appendix free cattle working the best in my environment. Maybe its just coincidince but the harder doing ones at my house are the ones that carry an asterisk.
