Trying to pick a bull to use on this cow this year. She is a Paddy out of a shorthorn cow. She is THF but a carrier for PHA. She currently has a heifer by Northern Improvement. Thanks for all suggestions.

What would you like to change about her, and how is her calf out of NI?  Also, what is the Shorthorn breeding she has?

If I had to chage anything it'd be maybe a little more middle. I love her front and the way she moves. Her calf is very clean fronted, maybe not as powerful as I'd like but very stylish. She traces back to Double Down on the shorty side.

You might think about TM Gus. If you're not familiar with him, go to fischercattlecompany.com and look him up.  VERY impressive two year old bull, his first calves are looking good, and we'll see a lot more of them this year.  Justintime on here could elaborate on his bull, which is Wolf Willow Major Leroy, but from what I know, he will add middle and power, without giving up hair and look.  He's not clubby, but he'll make some cowy females.  I've also been told how docile his calves are.

If you want to add body I would suggest Gizmo and or OCC Legend or Anchor. All are clean TH and PH. IF she is clean fronted and you are okay with frame size none of the suggested bulls will add alot of frame. If you could add a little larger picture that would be great.

Here is a different pic. Hope it is easier to see.
