Over the years, I have always valued the suggestions and information I receive pertaining to breeding suggestions for upcoming seasons.  Here is a really cool Maternal Made that will have her second calf spring of 2019; she is currently raising a nicely designed Soo Line Motive bull calf.  Any and all suggestions will be entertained; I have a general idea as to which bull I may be entertaining, but nothing has been 100% decided.  Thank you to those of you who offer breeding ideas.  I appreciate them.

Best of luck,

Pat Wolfe

Very nice looking female !
If you are interested in higher Maine matings, I would consider data bank (hearing great reports on him), or even sooner. She looks plenty strong in her top to use sooner on.
I'd also be intrigued to use a few half blood Maine clubby bulls like unstoppable, second to none and black power play on if She were mine. Best of luck (thumbsup)

Thank you, Gargan, for your kind words and suggestions.  I like your thoughts.

Really nice heifer and I think Gargan hit a lot of the good, black Clubby Maine options. I also think GCC Whizard could be a good maternal type pairing depending on which way you want to go with her.

Thank you for the Whizard suggestion; I do believe that mating would cross well, too.

Nice looking heifer. I like your bull Rumor Mill on her. I think he would give her some extension out of the front. If she needs power, we really like our Maternal Perfection heifers, but they can get a little coarse in the shoulder. Our best calves this year have been our two Onset’s. Extended, stylish and seem to have enough power. He breeds similar to Who da Man, but more consistent either the Ace in his pedigree.

Thank you, CRS, for your insightful suggestions.  I continue to appreciate the breeding ideas I have received and will take a serious look into the bulls mentioned ( except RM ... I know what he has done for us )

Here is a working clothes picture as a two year old bull Knabe and I own with O’hara’s. He’s worth a look. We can ship semen out of Universal Semen Sales in Great Falls, MT or SEK soon. He’s worth a look.

Thanks knabe...stupid phone wouldn’t let me preview it, so I assumed it was correct.

M.T., CDS is “CD’S” acronym and herd letters of Circle Diamond, his cattle hot iron brand. He has since passed away. Was a long time family friend and business associate.

As I have previously mentioned, I enjoy listening to the breeding suggestions that are offered by those of you who share them.  Here's another one I'd like to hear some suggestions on; she's an Irish Whiskey granddaughter x Meyer 734 granddaughter.  Like previous cows I have pictured, breed and/or color do not matter; however, I will not be breeding anything to PHAC bulls. She is currently raising a very cool Fu Man Chu heifer calf.

Thank you,

Patrick Wolfe

This one is pictured in the winter just off a herd of Simm cows-We have heard the calves are exceptional-he didnt grow up like fluffy the kittycat .goes around a ton-Its impossible but hes TH and PHA free-hes going to Nichols-if he ends up DS Free-he has a very large offer outstanding and sure would be worth a try-Soundest best footed starburst ever-according to a number of people who KNOW the difference and considered very good off the picture by Starbursts breeders He certainly has the most performance of anything born out of StarburstO0

This bull has some Simmental (Meyer 734 via Summit's maternal line and SVF Steel Force via Whizard) in his pedigree and some pieces common with Maternal Made’s pedigree. May be an option for either.
