My intentions are to make very productive sim influenced replacments, emphasis on maternal triats (including milking), and most value if sold as a bred?
Also thinking about Flushing an EXT cow  with super depth and great front end, to one of these bulls opinions are welcome

He is not on your list but I am very intrigued by the maternal numbers on the Long's Shear Pleasure bull.

Built Right!  And you can purchase female sexed semen at a reasonable price.  Approx. $60/unit.

In the last week, I calved out six cows, three were ET calves, all out of my TOP cows and MATERNAL BULLS!!  Maternal bull sires used were...OCC Legend, Backlash, Conclusion 437, Theobald 969 and Nutt-N-Butt Business. 

ALL BULL CALVES!!

I agree with Built Right! We have an awesome Built Right cow, just had calf 3/4 (twins) 1 day after her 4th birthday! Milks enough to feed four  (clapping)!! Her first daughter in in prduction (a Pacesetter), and she is just as good as her mom; tons of milk and calved before her second birthday by 30 days  <party>

Both have gorgeous udders and are great mothers. I will use him a lot more, LOVE them!

Look at 734 himself and tell me you like that pic of him.  Who X 734 is a hard combo to top for productive females.

And so the story goes on...Wednesday Afternoon, 03/16/2011

ET Calf in recip cow: OCC Missing Link Sire x Reg Angus OCC 790K Donor Cow

Cow could not calve, sleeved, gave a litttle more time, called vet.  Small calf.  Vet could not get calf out.  Both of the calves front legs were bent back, and it's head bent down under it's belly.  Calf was dead, before we started.  Cut off both front legs and pushed calf back down in cow to get at head and pull out with snare.  Not pretty.  Tough situation. 

Good News...So far cow is still alive!

Bad news...this "would have been", my first live HEIFER calf from this flush!

Still no heifers yet this year!

SEA, can you tell me who is selling the Built Right sexed semen. I am in a mix trying to decide wether to buy Built Rite or Grandmaster. You can buy Grandmaster sexed semen from Select Sires, but don't don't know the price yet, just asked them for the price. I like both of those bulls and might try both of them depending on the prices, if you can buy sexed Built Right for $60, I think that is a good price. Thanks

Accelerated Genetics carries Built Right female sexed semen.  However, I ordered back in December and am still on the waiting list.
