Just surfing tonight thinking about bulls I might AI my cows to this spring. Looking for stuff that may mesh well with our low input kind of country. The 1st bull hails from NZ and piqued my interest. Wondered what ya'll think about him? The 2nd bull is a Texas bull. Comments welcomed! :D

The tender ten bull piqued my interest also-he's really linebred Emulation 31. I have a bull that is out of 5522's full sister he's an A model but we use him every year.
 
I don't know anything about the NZ bull-- but Tender Ten interests me- and if we do AI some heifers this spring I might try him... I've been looking at him for a couple of years- just waiting to see how he proves out... I corresponded with the Bradley ranch about him- and it sounds like they have quite a program that stress's maternal and are pretty high on the bull...

Just kind of a unique/different pedigree that you don't see every day...I've had some good luck with 5522 daughters/granddaughters in years past- but the only thing that always gets me nervous about anything related to Emulation 31 is disposition- but they said he is a nice quiet bull and sires quiet progeny so far- and I see still has a high Disposition EPD....
 
My bull out of the 5522 cow is out of the old GT Max bull-he fell out of favor because his daughters had too many throw aways-but boy the ones that get past the first couple calves tended to stay for a dozen or so more. I still have 30 units on the old bull himself.
 
I like the look of the NZ bull. But I don't like New Design O36.
Lots of structure problems there, namely legs.
Finks 5522 bull sold at one time for a whale of a lot of mooney
if that interests you at all. The cows were said to be good ones.

Our daughter was at the N-Bar several years ago and saw direct
daughters/sons of 5522 and she said they were the best ones on
the ranch. FWIW
