Wow! Thats a tough one, and an easy one at the same time. There are a lot of 734 sons out there that have there own perks and bonuses and there are a lot that are very good. Wht kind of cows are you breeding them to? I love macho! but I also like maximus, 3D, climax, all the hairietta sons....mammas boy, king meyer, dr.meyer,ect... but I guess it depends on what kind of cows you got. :)

I still favor McCarney the most.  I like the Macho's although some could be stouter.  I also like the 40 Guns's.  I have also preferred the ones out of non-purebred angus cows just for the added stoutness.

I will be using them on maine cross cows. They are all different, but the ones that I would be using a meyer son on would be a foreplay cow, and another cow that her pedigree escapes me right now.

I like the Conclusion bull. He is really smooth and correct. I haven't seen the bull in person, but he looks as flat as the other half bloods out there. I think you need to find one with some maine on the dam's side to get some shape.

I would use maximus b.c they show really good, and make great great cows

How much is maximus semen? how hard is his semen becoming to get?

that bulls picture is nice but nothing like he is in person. he has more rib shape, bone and lower quarter  than you would ever think from his picture . and  his font end is just flat out impressive.  i breed him to my low % maines for some meyer influenced replacments. and to top it off he is as sound and easy movin as a cat.      <cowboy>

I have a young bull that goes back to meyer.  He is a SOS on 3C Macho's full sib.  Let me know if you would be interested in him.
