Best bulls for a heat wave heifer

What is the best bull to breed to a heat wave heifer

A jersey or a bullet

we usually use yellow jacket or mojito.  Both are clean bred and will put the cow back into the heatwave

I would say Conneally In Sure. Angus bull from Genex. I have bred a lot of heifers to him this year for other people. From lowlines to 750 pound red angus heifers to calve out next year. I will let you know if they have any trouble. Off the top of my head i cant remember but i believe his CED is +17 or +19. So you will get a live calf. Considering the cow is a heat wave, you might get some grow out of the calf too. I wouldnt put my eggs in that heifers basket on milking, so i would say a live calf out of a heat wave heifer with a shot of grow and then breeding her to a slightly larger bw weight for a 2nd calf is what i would do. good luck

if your using mojito or yellow jacket on a heat wave heifers first calves, your either nuts or are vet who is great at c-sections

White tail buck

We bred three of them to majors money man and had good luck. We use him on most all of our heifers with good results.

Calving ease bulls that know are that , there is some in most breed's ...

Just try any of the new, totally unproven flash in the pan calving ease bulls that show up in denver every year, that will save you the trouble of ever having to buy milk to feed her calf with or come up with excuses as to why she hasnt bred back in the last few years and starved the last calf she had.    Sorry, I just cant resist. Might I suggest final answer clone?

the very few we have calved out seemed compromised in their pelvic area; they couldn't even have a small calf easily....however, once we got them beyond that second calf, they calved on their own; have a charlois sired steer calf out of our 11 year old Heatwave cow that looks to be a great prospect for our daughter for next year.

I think added age would benefit a Heatwave sired heifer; let her grow an additional 6 months before you breed her; then use an easy calving bull, calving ease angus would be my pick.
