    Both ABS and Universal

    Semen Sales have him at $18 per unit.
    probably the smartest buy in Angus.

    certificates, btw are $35.

    There's a reason he's still in production. ;)

    He's 1 of thee Best Ever

    ( on the globe ) he was raised in Dakota.

    ( guy named Howard Hillman raised him )

    If you want to make Real Cows or want Real Feed Efficiency then use 878.

    878 just has a real cow maker top hip.

    I figure he'll last another 5 to 8 years and keep on producing.

    a lot of his daughters will likely ratio calves till they're 22 or 23 years old too.
