Hi Matt, Here are some pictures of a Monopoly sired steer that we calved out and sold at our October sale. Here are all of the details on our blog, http://duncanlivestock.blogspot.com/2011/03/monopoly-steer-wins-pei-easter-beef.html
He was Grand Champion steer at the 2011 Prince Edward Island, Canada Show

Matt,
Last year I purchased 5 units of I80 semen. I had 5 first service conceptions and 5 live very vigorous calves. They were all out of cows and the birth weights ranged from 65 to 91#, with a 79.6# average. The cow that had the 91# calf had 116 and 124# calves the two previous years, so he took a lot of birth weight out of the cows. They keep getting better every day. We plan on breeding a lot more cows and a few heifers to him this year.
Thanks,
