Do it. If the calf turns out really good it's line-bred, if it turns out really bad it's in-bred  ;D

here is my WMW x Traveler Angus.  He is the cleanest bull I have seen anywhere.  He is small and very cool looking in person.  We just got him but he does look pretty good to us.  We got him to breed to heifers.  We call him Captain Who.

He came from Dave Guyer in Indiana.  I think he will work.  He walks out wide and tracks perfectly.  Good on his front legs.  Smooth shouldered.  Gentle disposition.  Very square on his hooks to pins.  His top is like a table.  He needs to be used on deeper bodied cows IMO and can be used on carriers like Heat Wave cows.  He is very cool though and will add great style with no calving issues.  I think his heifers will all be keepers and his steers will sell.  JMO

You might try Tycoon.  I know that Wagonhammer has a new promotional bull called Time Saver whose dam is bred the same way as your cow is.

Yea I noticed that also. I was under the impression that Tycoon would add frame? Am i right or wrong about that?

Walks Alone was my immediate thought. Just wondering if there were any other suggestions. Any pics of this Maxim bull?

I saw Walks on Water in Denver and he would definitely downsize.  Extremely good fronted for the amount of power and body he had.  Appeared to be sound enough although I didn't see him travel.  Seemed to be smoother in overall design as compared to Walks Alone.

Dont use Johnny Walker Red, there are reasons he never got used  :-\. I know he is an older bull but our Direct Hits were always smaller made with good fronts and usually really stout. I have seen several My Turns this year that all look to be the right kind, i would think about using him.
