I have never dealt with- and know little about McCumber-- but in looking at there current sire list it looks like they are moving toward more moderate framed- more maternal cattle than they had with at least some of their herd sires:

If looking for some angus bulls in ND- that concentrate on making momma cows and not chasing huge numbers-- I would have to suggest :
Dietz Family Angus
180 W. Gaffy St.
Sentinel Butte, ND 58654
They are tied to (married to ?) Van Dykes and have some good breeding...
Their number one herd sire Cole Creek Cedar Ridge 1V
Reg. # 16134394 is really stirring a lot of interest in a lot of breeders...Both Dietz and Van Dykes have sold bulls sired by him.... He impress's me because of the fact he is double bred both top and bottom to the old Cedar bull- CH Quantum 6247 AAA #12687606 - which according to his owners was just a good old bull while he was alive-- but is now starting to shine with the performance of his daughters/granddaughters....The Cedar daughters/granddaughters I have are good momma cows.... I am now using one grandson out of a nice Juanadamere cow that goes back several times on the other side to Rito 707 and Shoshone Viking ... 10-15 years from now, I'll tell you how he was for making momma cows :wink:
