Did someone on here raise their own 9126J bull(s)

Memory makes me think someone posted some pictures and their thoughts.

If so could they refresh my memory or post a link to the discussion.

Or if anyone had any thoughts please feel free to add them.

Sorry I didn't answer this sooner...busy calving.

We AIed to him in 2005 and got 3 bulls we used the next year on our heifers. The neighbor bought one that year when we were done with him. He bought another one last year, and his daughter and SIL are buying the last one this spring. We really liked them and their calves. Pulled a few but not many. Their daughters milk well and have good udders. Here are two of the links I found.

Really don't think 9126 is as powerful as his EPD's would indicate. If he didn't have the CL 1 prefix he would probably be kinda average. Nothing against Coopers as I think they have very good cattle, just not the typical ranch enviroment. Seems to me, if you feed the hell out of them your EPD's will rise if you don't they go down. Don't have much faith in EPD's, just as soon just look at the cattle and actual performance within one herd.
