I would try to breed her so that she will calve easy and breed back ASAP.    May I suggest an Angus bull that will sire a steer or steer making heifer

I would consider these bulls:

OCC Legend   http://www.ohldecattle.com/assets/sire/legend616l.html
MCC Cupid     http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1AN1156&lang=EN
Connealy Thunder   http://genex.crinet.com/beef/index.php?action=DETAIL&code=1AN1117&lang=EN
Maxi   http://treelanefarms.com/herdsire.htm

There should be enough differences in these bulls to compliment your heifer.

Keep us updated on what you decide.

I still am supportive of my longhorn idea, with the buckin bull bloodlines, we could all have a poll on what to name it , somethin like  WILD WHISKEY ! (clapping)

toni you obviously must be getting a big break from class today,   personally i would breed her to a longhorn bull of my neighbors i could get semen on for you, he may throw some color with that irish wihisky in that heifer.  it is important to just get a live calf the first time on a high dollar heifer, then start making these educated decisions.
Tell you what, you get her old lady confirmed to Longhorn and I think about it!

I've also used ForePlay & Rowe's Currency for heifers.

Cathy, Do you have the registration # for ForePlay, What's his Semen worth?

Anyone ever use Gigolo Joe on Heifers?  Below is another picture of the Heifer that we took today.

Thanks,

RSC

I used Gigolo Joe this year on a few heifers after talking to Brad Nelson about him, a Money Man and a couple purebred Angus. I've got high hopes for the calves. Guess we'll find out in spring.

After seeing this photo I really think Ali could add some body length and neck to her. You said she had Northern Improvement in her already. thought....

You could probably stimulate some interest in your part of the country by using Copyright on her. I think he will be making some noise. He's pretty good.

  I think Ali is a great choice,  it is cost effective.  Whats it worth now?
