The Bull Entourage ( pic added)

[hardenblu2]

I have a heat wave 1 heifer out of a who made who\ 904 impulse cow. I would like to use Entourage the pb simmi so that if i get a heifer i can paper her half blood. Does anyone have any bad stories on the bull. I also have a heat wave out of a totally tuned Angus cow that i am breeding to Northern Improvement.    Picture Added.

I have heard nothing but good solid reports from Entourage.... I am using sexed semen with good results!

I did not see that sexed semen was available on him. I could have gotten sexed semen on his half brother Built Right but chose Entourage. Where did you get yours and for how much. The Built Right was only like $40. or $50.forsexed.

We AI'd several cows to him and are getting ready to flush a cow to him.  I've seen the bull in person and he is the real deal.  Very very sound, thick, all the right pieces in all the right places.  I haven't seen any calves from him but wouldn't this be about the first year there would be any?  There may be a few yearlings from him too.    The only thing that concerns me about the bull is whether or not he is bull that I'd go all out & use on all my heifers.  He ought to be alright based on pedigree and his EPD sure enough supports that.  Its just that the accuracy is still low - due to the fact that there aren't a lot of calves on the ground yet.

I will try to post a pic of the heifer later tonight, I have trouble downsizing the pics. As much as I would like to use this bull I also have Northern Improvement in the tank.What would you do?

Actually the owner won Division at both KCY and Denver with an Entourage heifer this past year.  LTS Essence (link below to her pic).  I've seen a few calves this year at their place and I wouldn't hesitate to use him at all.  You said it best - he's the real deal.  They have some fairly average cows that Entourage made a lot better.  Give Jeff Thompson a call.  He'll tell you all about him.  Jeff's a great guy.
