I haven't seen any of his progeny but I am certainly familiar with his dam.  I guess my question is, why use him vs Pioneer himself?  Worse performance, same calving ease.  The only reason I can think of is to add the influence of his dam. She's a great cow but certainly not uniquely bred.  004...

Pioneer is in my opinion, the best son of Final answer in terms of useful, predictable progeny, calving ease, growth, and maternal function.  They make great cows and the bulls are just as good.  All while having adequate growth and thickness.

Pretty strong group of calves off of both of the MOGCK Bullseye sons we used. Bruns Blaster (Genex) and a son that I bought to walk clean-up last year. Stout, jet black, and hairy calves. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who only got bull calves.  We had a more than 2 to 1 ratio of bulls to...

Picture of Graceland, an Elvis son, at 3 yrs of age.  He's starting to look a lot like his sire.

Looks like a solid market steer.  He's no "show steer" but for your local county fair he is perfectly suited.  Looks like he should hang up a nice carcass too.  Nice work.

First class - show cattle deluxe.  They've got the look, the hair, and make-up to win in the ring.  High BW, avg performance, poor docility, and no scrotal are his pitfalls. Not great for keeping bulls or making cows. Not saying they can't work, but the averages are not in his favor. The Bando...

Nice set of calves!  I had to look twice.  I coulda swore the last 2 pics were the same calf.

Good point!  If you want predictability in this business that's about as good as it gets.  Find yourself a masculine, powerful, wedge shaped bull in this mold and his daughters will keep you in business a lot longer than any smooth fronted "show" bull.

Updated pic of N7's Elvis 9Y at 6 years of age.  His daughters are going to be his legacy.  Pic of a random 3 yr old daughter of his. Man can they produce.

Yup.  I agree wholeheartedly.

That does sound like quite a list of extenuating circumstances. At 86 pounds it would be heavier than any bismarck I have had and where I live bw are consistently 5-10lbs higher due to the cold. Glad to see she's doing well.  It's certainly a nice calf. Best of luck.

Always the goal to get a solid, live calf the first time. Them Bismarck make great mommas.  Get her bred right next time and she'll have the milk to get you a great one  (thumbsup)

Nice calf Bronco!  Looks like he's got some shape to him.  Looks promising.  Keep us updated.

No problem.  In reality it would just depend how busy the border and the vet is.  Seems way easier to stay on the south side.

By the time you have the health inspections done at the border, it'll eat up that hour you save.  Just stay on the US side.

Haha.  If you've already got some muscle you won't lose anything in the thickness and power department.  Check out my thread on my Bismarck cow: http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/the-big-show/sav-bismarck-female/

Nice heifer.  I'm not going to suggest a bull cuz I have no useful knowledge on the breeds you're looking for haha.

She had a bull this year. 

Snapped a couple pics of the 2016 heifer calf off my Bismarck cow.  Before and after the clip job.

Yup. Bought a single one and it's great. Will be getting more.  Cheap, bright, durable.
