OK I'm on the picture kick this year.  Here's another Gigolo Joe heifer.  Made different than my other one, but I really like her.  Didn't anyone but Jill and me have joe calves??

Apparently Joe is not homo black(like i was hoping)going to breed some red heifers hoping for black calves,as long as there nice though shouldn't matter what colour they are.

Only have seven cows and heifers but are planing on breeding all to Joe. I have really liked the ones that I have seen.

I'm tickeled too with him.  You do have a chance to get color but it sure is fun to go out and see whatcha get, kinda like Christmas.  My only regret is not using him earlier.  I listened to the "online gossip" and went against my gut feeling.  Guess that proves you cann't always listen to banter and to go with your gut.

CUTK- Thanks SO much for posting those pics.  I have a friend with an Ali x Chiangus heifer we're gonna breed to Joe and these pics really made me more confident in using him.

We had 30+ calves out of Gigolo this year and we picked up another 40 units to use this year.  Most of those were out of first calf heifers but did him on some cows also.  He worked on about everything we used him on.  This year we are going to breed the second calvers to him just to manage our calving a little better.  We bred 72 heifers last year half angus and half Gigolo, the angus came two weeks early up to the due date and the Gigolo's came on the due date to two weeks late.  All bred on the same day and still had a month calving period on the heifers.  we will be getting the cows in to put CIDRs in next Friday so maybe I can get some good pictures of the calves then and post some.

I'm using his son and I sure hope he's more homozygous black than his father!

How do you get MORE homozygous? Or are you referring to the white spots he throws?
