Bull Choice

I have a hairy bear X Meyer 734 x who made who heifer. She could use a flatter hip and some more set in her rear pasturns and some more flex in her rear hocks. I am looking to make females out of her. What bulls out there could add what i am looking for? I was thinking mossy oak, hard drive, ground zero, steel force, Who da man(is it risky having two shots of who and is wdm straight off his rear legs),sheriff Taylor(he also has who in him on the dam side), friction, and money shot. What do you think would work the best?  Anyother suggestions appreciated.

If you are wanting female for replacement heifers I would be looking at Angus  bulls to use on her.  my first choice would be OCC Anchor or his clone, then I would look at Duff New Edition or Duff Basic Instinct.  OCC Legend or  OCC Missing Link would do what your wanting also and make some great females.  Just my opinion.

NOT MOSSY OAK! All of the calves that i have seen outa him are crippled and do not milk!!!!!!!

What is anchors BW like? Also what about New look or northern improvement?

I didn't see that you were breeding a heifer.  I probably wouldn't use any of the bulls I mentioned on a heifer.  One bull that I have used on heifers that will do what your wanting Is OCC Kirby.  He is the sire of BC Marathon.  I've never been able to find pictures of him but we've had some really good calves out of him and never had any calving problems.  My neighbor sold a $10,000 heifer by him out of an Alias first calf heifer.  I've seen some good Northern Improvement cattle, but haven't ever been able to raise one.  I have NI in my semen tank and never use it anymore since I started using Kirby.

if its is her first calf i'd try northern improvement, duff outer limits (both angus)
shorty option would be jake proud jazz, if heifer has some size
keeping it maternal i like trausch's bull northern ice, a very nice bull at stud.
for freak clubby i like walks alone

do you have a picture of the heifer?

Northern Improvement
SS Traveler T510 6807
OCC Legend

Gizmo-great shorty option

Money Man

Dream On

I really would to have a calf that I can register out of her. I am thinking northern improvement, Doc(I know I can't register those calves) or a Maine calving ease bull. Are there any Maine bulls that are like an angus for calving ease. She is not a small heifer she will be pretty good size when she calves. What Maine bulls have you had good success with?

I like Ali in some situations. Good calving ease, good soundness, and the daughters that we have are good milkers as well as good mothers. JMO

If you can get your hands on it, I would use Steel Force. His females are to die for. Would most likely put a blaze face on the calves, esp since she is a Meyer heifer.
