Just wondering which Angus bulls would add the "look" needed for the ring. We have had some pb calves out of Style that had the "look" but didn't grow to be very tall out of taller plainer made cows. Just wondering people's opinions of calves out of Insight, Classen or First N Goal? Feel free to add any other angus bulls.

My experience is First N Goals don't get big enough either nice made but not enough frame. I like my Classens just have to place them on cows with little prettier fronts and maybe alittle thicker made. I have not used Insight but he seems to be getting along well in the showring. I have a couple Primo out big stout cows they look pretty dandy right now plan to use more of him this breeding season. Also have a few pretty nice Watchout calves going to also use him more this year. Have more Classen semen in tank also to use. just my $.02

Style calves don't have any size?  EPDs show MH of 1.0 and MW +83.  That is on the larger end of the breed.

His epds may show that on yearling height but he doesn't usually add frame. I wish his growth numbers were higher but the bull has sired good show cattle.

OCC Anchor, while providing considerable value in other areas, will not provide any frame enhancement.  He will moderate frame size, as will most similar bred OCC cattle.

I haven't used but saw some pretty good Gambles Safe bet and CFCC blackjack calves. I would also consider using some Kramers Enforce if you want good numbers in a very eye appealing package.

Really like bush's Unbelievable. Good calves bull or heifer. Found a promo picture of him, which is different from the one in all the catalogs. Heifer safe, decent EPDs and has a docility EPD  of 30. Breeding him to a really good high chi this spring. Conversation looks to be pretty good, but his docility EPD is really low.

I have used Bush's Unbelievable for several years on a few cows and used a son as a yearling that left some nice heifers and and bulls.  I think he throws a better hip than his sire Bismarck and better feet.  Udder on the first calf heifer is very good, but so is her dam's.  Seem to be functional cattle.  Growth is decent.
