Sire Search

[Northern Rancher]

Does anybody use those to short list bulls-the deals where you type in the EPD values you require and the list pops up as to what fits it. I first typed in no more than plus 3 BW and no more than plus 20 milk and I got a fairly long list. I decided to shorten it and kept those values plus added positives for feet, legs, udders interesting results to say the least. ABS doesn't have a function to include EN in the search and Genex is dead to me so going to wander through some other pages.

Nothing especially-there were a few more bulls that showed up if I typed in higher milk values. I was just window shopping I guess-kind of checking out the sires of some of the bulls that are going to be at the spring bull sales. Tender Ten is kind of an interesting bull.

I've looked at the bull for a couple of years- and have talked to the owners/ranch manager....Kind of an interesting out of this area low input/moderate framed bloodline outcross- that actually goes back twice to an old proven bull we had good results from years ago --5522.....

We've talked about it- that if we decide to AI some heifers- we might try him on some....Altho I think we have a couple heifer bulls that has as much or more to offer....

I've got about 500 units of a bull out of 5522's full sister he makes pretty good cows.
