I think it would have to be BW Marshall and all his sons except Toystory and Mac in my herd. Thank god for all the Oman sons available now so I can breed back some functionality into my Lou, Airraid, Wildman, and Bradley daughters. I would also like to third Morty.



Do you have any Billions?

I want to join the party too. I fourthed Morty as the worst bull in my herd that jumps to mind. Mine never have looked any good and their health traits are so bad I worry they'll be contagious.

Never milked any Blitz's - but they seem like really nice cows - very milky, the ones I have seen that is. Our Morty's aren't terrible type-wise, but they aren't nearly as good as I thought they'd be. But I have 4 milking, and 3 of the 4 have been lame at some point in time - and they are all first lactation. So IF they become old cows, there is no way their feet will ever last. But they milk well, even if they can't walk.

Planning to bred the Morty's to some Outside blood. Or maybe Pontiac- I have decided to use Pontiac on my Aspens to boost fertility. And type-wise it should make a good cross - since Pontiac's don't have much frame and depth, and Aspens do.

I am milking about 20 Billion daughters. Been very pleased with them so far. Accelerated pictured one a few months back. I would say he is one of the more underated Marshall sons. I should maybe include him with Mac and Toystory, his proof has been dropping the last few runs though. PA, I am milking a couple Pontiac X Morty daughters. I like them alot from a type stand point, they are terrible for fat percent though.

One of the herds I do a lot of work with strayed off the path for a moment and used a lot of Morty one season. We have had to implement a full recovery program. We have bred all the heifers to Jinx and are breeding the cows to Zenith. Thanks to Morty the breeder is now a firm believer in health traits.

Asking both my dad and my grandmother over the years, off the top of my head I think I could make up a list (in no necessary order-except maybe for the first bull)

John Fill Salem (this bull doesn't even exist according to Holstein USA-only his mother appears in records- my grandfather really did get ripped off there)

Re:


Aftershock. I am just not a fan of daughters. Terrible legs most notably lack of heel and strength of pastern. I had Three fancy ones go VG in early 1st lactation. 2 are gone now as they fell apart right after 2nd calf. I have 2 others left. Both smaller cow with OK udders. Fore udder attachment could be improved. Feet and legs are the worst trait on them. Frames are pretty, deep body and open ribbed. Strong tops and long, dairy necks. Only bonus is they don't have any trouble getting bred back

I thought I loved Aftershock when my two year olds first started calving in. Now, not so much. I was expecting them to age well but they fell apart fast. Health wise; they are decent. Functional cows? Not so much
