[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1680553, member: 24816"] Some years ago, an up and coming Angus program in the eastern part of the state used OCC Emblazon pretty heavy in preparing for their first production sale. The calves on the ground looked good, but had no doubt been pushed along some. I’ve heard a lot of differing views on OCC cattle from they were great to they lacked performance. Some were also negative on the disposition of Emblazon progeny. The source that I bought several Angus bulls from had a few ET calves by OCC Missing Link, after hearing some of the before mentioned comments I told them I wasn’t interested in those calves and selected 2 sons of SAV Bismarck. They told me that they really liked the Missing Link calves and that they usually were in the top of their contemporary groups. I ended up and got a Missing Link son as well. He was a little shorter than the other two but long and pretty well made. My main goal was for heifer bulls for mainly heifers I would sell as bred so I did not get to see many calves out of that bull. I did have a registered cow that had a bull calf by him, he was a thick stout calf, but his disposition was such that the day he was weaned he was taken to the stockyards and sold as a feeder. Had he been calm or gave the impression that he would settle down I would have kept him as a bull prospect. [/QUOTE]
