OT, how have your results been with D806? are his daughters as good as they claim? i thought about giving him a try aswell.
Great calving ease-- perfect heifer bull....Calves were born small- but had a lot of vigor- and grew well...Bull/steer calves fit right in with the average- same with heifers- and had one heifer that had the highest WW of the bunch (the 5W I stuck a picture of up)....
Can't tell you that much about the daughters from there on- as the only ones I have are yearlings now...They look nice- been easy to handle- and now I'll have to give them the test of time as they raise some calves...
Some of the folks I've talked to are sure high on him tho as a cowmaker...Saw one fella that bought several of his sons to use on a bunch of heifers he had....
I kind of avoided him for sometime because of all the EXT on the maternal side- and fears of disposition- but then I saw the AAA docility rating wasn't too bad-- and so far from those I have, have seen nothing negative...
