With beefy fullbloods like the one I pictured available, what’s the appeal with these big hard ultra tubular bodied types?

anyone got any shorthorn female line suggestions to try these bulls on?

i sure would like to see what a couple of JIT's cows would do, say sparkle or leah /// I think there are a number of cattle in Iowa that I could start plastering the thread with pictures of that would really work-So would JITs or some of the longer fronted Canadian cows-Xbar might be a source for objective views on Canadian cattle too-anything is possible O0

Ha.  That’s what I’m afraid of. It would take using the two thousand pound sparkle cow whose shoulder sits a foot outside her forerib to calve out many of these type bulls.  But then you’d have to find a Holstein to raise the offspring as the butch types tend not to milk, proportionate to their size.  Thank god for silage and drylotting.  Those ‘malpresentations’ (I literally spit my coffee out every time he says that, as if that’s any defense) aren’t so tough to deal with when the whole herd in piled up on the backyard.  Quite different scenario when they’re spread out through a hundred acres of timber bottoms.

Just saw this fullblood hfr won that breed at fwss. Has a real soft , easy keeping look to her. Nice set to her legs.  One of the best fullbloods I've seen in pictures.
