Would appreciate comments on the bull from any that have used him; I bought the last straws available in Canada several years ago. Been saving it till I figure out the best way to utilize it in our PB polled program.

Thanks for the picture. I believe that was the one that was in the ABS catalog at one time.

As far as Achiever. I think the Hereford breed could stand more bulls like him. He was outstanding as far as udder quality and milk. The females I have seen also show good capacity and would work in a "real" ranch environment. So many other "high milk" herefords would fall to pieces on the range. As time passes finding direct daughters or sons has become a chore. If you have semen, you are lucky, use it wisely. I think it can still be had in the States for $100+.
