Boardwalk

Just curious if anyone has had any Boardwalk calves yet and if so what kind of birth weigths have you had and what type of cows?  Thanks!

Have not had any calves out of this bull, but I recommend that you view him in person before breeding to him.

I have seen three.  they looked good.  i believe their were some pics posted on here in the begining of march end of feb this year.  those were some of the first to hit the ground.  they also looked good.  try a search and they should pop up. 

I would ask Matt Lautner and I think he would give you his honest opinion. When he was at our place he told me that he seemed to be breeding a little stouter than Monopoly, but he had not seen enough to really tell. This was just after MI Expo and early in his travels. I bet he has a better idea now.

Saw the bull out there during Matt's fall sale last year. He is small, big boned, good middled, and sound enough for a steer bull. IDk why seeing him in person would deter anyone from using him

saw around ten i think and they were a good set. they were fuzzy and seemed to have some grow as they had some cannon bone and still some circumference of bone. seemed to have some hip too.

I will admit that they looked better than i thought they would. they seemed to come easy and don't look like much when first born from what i was told.

in comparison to monopoly, they did seem to be a little stouter looking maybe than the previous monopoly calves i have seen there.

time will tell on how big they get but that set was respectable.

I have a course made angus cow I was thinking of breeding her to him.  She is a big cow that is deep.  She doesn't seem to thow a lot of power though.  We had a sunseeker heifer a few years ago out of her that would pass as a pure bred angus just looking at her.  We have put embryos in her the past couple years and don't have any embryos for this year so was trying to find something that will hopefully throw some power.  I also have some Monoply 2 but didn't know about him since he was half angus.  Thanks!

we had 5 ets and 3 naturals, all around 85 ,90 lb range, great hair wasn't to happy at first but they are really coming on now, . they are out of med to large frame cows, and calves are not short by any means , prob a little leggier than anticipated, one heifer out of a draft pick may be best calf this year. 6 black and two black and whites. may work on your angus cow, these are mostly crossbreeds i used him on.

this is a Boardwalk bull calf i had last week out of a Rambo 502 (red angus) x Draftpick cow, 100 lbs unnassisted. He is a day old in this pic!

Does he add much power and bone?  The sunseeker heifer we had out of her was a pretty a profiling hefier you will find but needs more bone and power.  She is ok for a heifer but if she was a bull I would be pretty disappointed.
