[QUOTE="Stickney94, post: 1583617, member: 37941"] With all the threads that are really talking to the "extremes" of EPDs or phenotype on CT, I'd argue Hoover Dam is just a great example of "balanced" angus bull. He's been used extensively because he just checks off a lot of the boxes in a positive but not extreme manner. As others have said, his daughters are generally solid females. As far as his male progeny -- I steer everything and fatten them -- I personally think the steers are excellent. Excellent frame. Nice demeanor. They have a rump. They may not grow off the charts but they definitely grow. And I know there carcass quality is TOP notch. In my experience HD has moderated cow size in terms of height in particular. I'd say his EPDs for MH and MW are accurate in my experience. If it means anything, I'm using Hoover Dam nearly exclusively for my angus breeding this year. My AI rep said it best and simply by stating "HD just provides consistent results." [/QUOTE]
