Only got one cow, but Kid Rock is hard to buy along with Joel. Joel being a JNS carrier doesn't do much for me either.

Depends on the situation. Delta Lambda is a great example of a bull who excels in both commercial and show environments. At this point most of us will have to use sons and grandsons as his semen is expensive and hard to get.

Nope. Premier sire at Madison does not impress me enough to use a bunch of semen. Sometimes they get there on the dominance of the heifer classes.

0% time when it’s the heifers but about 80% time for the milk cows. Yes for delta lambda. Unfortunately going to have to use his sons though unless on ivf.
