Moody Blues calves?

[Sassy2899]

How are the Moody Blues calves lookin? I have AI'ed a cow to him and didn't know what any other calves looked like.

We AI'd, I think a 1/2 amp to him couple years ago, nothing stuck.  ALways heard they were power packed with muscle and very straight.

Well this cow stuck with the first try so hopefully she will produce a good one. This is only her second calve.

 

[kfacres]

just curious.. but did you not research the bull before you stuck the straw in the cow? <alien>

We have had good luck with him.  We sold a fall granddaughter out of him last year that is doing great at the shows.

all i know is that he is a double carrier

Yea that is why i don't use him, other wise I have seen a few good ones.

 

[Sassy2899]

I did research him. I know that he is a double carrier. The cow I AI'ed to is as stout and wide as a truck so I don't think she will have any problems.

jproblems in what area?  I think I would mate maternal, lighter muscled cows to this bull considering he puts thickness and stoutness in offspring.. but they are straight.  (from what I have heard)

and if you researched him, why are you asking what you will expect in calves sired by him??? (argue)

 

[Sassy2899]

The only calves I have seen out of him are the ones on clubcalves.com and I didn't know if someone would happen to post a picture of a calve out of him. I didn't start this thread to bicker with anyone either I was just curious. Wasn't tryin to piss anyone off.

From what I have seen he reminds me of alias a little bit. Throws lots of meat in them but cam have some structural problems. I've never had any, just seen some

sounds like a nightmare happening. too much muscle and power on a calf = structure difucultys. especially if its a heifer calf when its born. may just have to bend over and cut your losses

Never seen any calves but won't ever use him! Bought a really nice cow outta him, first calf I got had vet out. That was here first strike, had to put her in chute with her to get calf fed. Grew good and showed decent, middle of class at county fair and calf was just a herdbull sim x. 2nd calf was a beautifull but straight Purple Inferno and she had another vet call and had to feed the calf then thought it was all good let her out to pasture and all I got back was my eartag. Cow went to town. Done with that stuff!!!!!!
