As a fan of both and an owner of jazzman I'll be as unbiased as i can. The Jazzman's have been thicker and hairy as a hole. Some say a little more consistant on birth weights 75% to 80% under 85 lbs. There have been a couple say that Jazzman is the best shorthorn bull on the market. We have been told there have been some big time steers born this fall on a limited amount of semen sold 300 units. Will be running an ad in show circuit this fall with pics of calves you can be the judge.
I haven't used either bull & may not. Jazzman may end up being a better sire than JPJ, it's way too early to tell right now. For me personally , I wonder about how competitive either will be as yrlng show hfrs. I've seen a lot of pics of JPJ calves as babies & being shown as wnlngs, but haven't seen hardly any yrlngs out there for the amount of semen sold. If I'm not mistaken I saw a pic of Jazzmans' dam in a sale catalog & she wasn't very big & so I wonder how big they will get also.
As far as being more consistent on bwts, that's a pretty bold statement when you are comparing a bull that has probably about a 100 calves on the ground at the most, with a bull that I would say has sired over a 1000 calves out of every kind of cow there is. JMHO. ;D
