The "Best" Bull

[ChristaCheatham]

I've already done a little research but what is everyone's favorite bull for let's say AI-ing your cattle? Whose semen goes for the cheapest but with the best results? Whose calves turn out the best?? Who has the easy calving? Just wanted to post this to see people's opinions!

If price isn't part of concern Meyer 734 is best of all time IMO

I would have to say Cunia with all that he has influenced.

734 if your not concerned about price, Mamas boy if you are.  Id throw steele force in that mix too.

I think you question is to vague. Not one bull is the best for every situation

No, not really. That's why I put best in quotes. I just wanted to see who people thought the "best" or favorite bull was.  Of course there isn't a "best" bull!!

Our best buy was $13 Who Made Who semen, but now it's $75 in Canada if you can find it.

We bought $35 Monopoly semen when he first came out in Canada, but now he is a $75 bull here.

Our top two sellers in our 2010 sale were from each bull, both were breed champions and one of them was Grand Champion at our provincial show.

Interesting how 'best' bulls change over time.  Not too long ago, Signal was the be all, end all for the Simmental people.  Every breed has had their share of 'it' bulls.  Ten years from now, very few of the bulls mentioned in this thread will be anything more than an afterthought.
