RCR Stetson
SS Ebonys Grandmaster
Triple C Invasion
All these bulls I think would click pretty nicely with her depending on what characteristics you are desiring. The cow you got pictured I'll go with Cut Above, Pay Day, Black Pearl, or Grandmaster. I bought a Invasion x Miss Wisconsin son for my Dream On daughters.

Either Upgrade or his son Chamberlain should work...Voyager or Grandmaster would  be good...and if she is moderate in her frame Navigator would work also.

we used a bull called Theobald he is priced at 15 unit and it is definitely worth it we got two extremely thick deep and big boned sound heifers out of him  on just a typical cow and the sold very nicely

Thanks for some suggestions.  I am kind of on the fence, thinking about crossing some maine/angus genetics into them and hoping for some maternal clubby type females.  I have these two cows now, and want to add 3 more by the end of the year.  My hopes are to have a good herd together by the time my son is ready to start showing in 8-10 years.  My family has always ran 250 head or so of feeder calves on our farms, but I have never ventured into the cow/calf side of things.  Anyone have any thoughts on the Meyer 735 bull Lautner is promoting?  I know it is a play on Meyer 734, but looks like a decent bull....

i owned a flushmate bull to your cow and have found that Maine genetics can work pretty well on them.  I assume from her genetics and the picture you posted that you are happy with her overall balance, soundness and look but would ideally giver her more dimension.  at least that is what i need from the daughters of my flushmate bull.  I would reccommend Shiver or Predator for Maine bulls.  If you are not opposed to PHAC you could sure take a swing with Irish Whiskey or derivatives.

theobald will work great for simmi maine cows the only negative is he is a th carrier but he produces big bone hairy thick stout and soft muddled heifers

Really nice cow, I'd have to go with Chap and If she were mine, I'd probably go ahead and go with Irish Whiskey.

wyatt: Not sure where you got your info, but Theobald is th free, he is a pha carrier.

If you are going maine-angus-DMCC Bodybuilder will blow your mind on a cow like that-along with low BW- Rumor Mill-is a clean very cool Mercedes benz-who if my memory serves me-goes back to Irish Whisky on the dams side-If not:Whisky Rebellion has quietly produced a BUNCH-of $3-6000 calves-he is double Kleen O0

Here is a photo of my In Dew Time daughter, she is raising a nice little May 15 bull calf.  I'd like to try to get her moved up to calve a little earlier this year.  Not a great quality photo, taken with my cell.
