angus bull to breed to

pa showman · Feb 17, 2013

i want an idea of what angus bull that will downsize and add some muscle while also being safe on a first calf heifer. i was thinking Brilliance what are your thoughts on this idea

P.S our goal is to get a show heifer that will be a good cow

I would think any of Bill Conleys bulls would fill the bill,

Leachman Prowess! He is a Protege son out of a Future Direction cow. You can find him on the AI sire page at leachman.com

JSAR Titan will do all the above for you.

LIMESTONE DARKHORSE we had 3 bull calves out of first calve heifers in 2012 all were around 70 lbs. Real nice calves kept one as bull sold the other two for 1500.00

I have seem some very nice cattle sired by Bushs Unbeilavable. All sorts of cows but all the calves were big bodied and a cool look with some stoutness. A couple were unsound but they were clubby bred on dams side. I was impressed enough i am going to breed some hfrs and cows to him looks like he is doing exactly what u want

I know that darkhorse's photo looks better than avg muscled for an angus but I am not convinced that he will pass that on to his calves based on info I have been given.. he will make them pretty though!

Limestone Darkhorse is not a bull to breed to heifers...period.

I agree with the Dark Horse comments. Consider Dameron First Impression. His dam is well proven.

He's not listed on their website that I can tell.. I do know that the Leachman Right Time bull is an EXCELLENT looking bull. That EXT phenoytype should be mass produced within all the british breeds.

Just got off the phone with my ABS rep and he said that Hoover Dam and Brilliance will both downsize calves. Hoover Dam's having a little more muscle to them but Brilliance's will have a little more style.

Agree with Mark- don't breed heifers to Dark Horse.
I would suggest SAV Brilliance- very stylish and moderates them or Dameron First Impression (SAV Brilliance x dam of Dameron First Class)

bump keep em coming

Right Answer. Used him on shorts angus simmy herf and limmys on custom heifer projects. He will do all what you want and more

I had three bc matrix calves last year all of which sold eather privetly oe threw a sale two where maine cross and one pb. Thing I liked about him was all three where calm. I would say they had ample muscle and added depth.
