What would you guys suggest breeding to purebred Angus cows Man Amongst boys,Believe In Me or Walks Alone. I am looking for something with some bone, a fair amount of rib and a little hair wouldn't hurt

If it were me and I had enough cows, I would breed some to BIM & some to MAB. I like BIM better than WA. JMO.

What does BIM do better than WA on Angus cows?  Like our WA calves, but if we can do better I am all ears.

On soft made Angus cows, wa gets my vote all day long. BIM is working really well on clubbier type females from what I've been seeing. Jmo

IMO the BIM cattle will be better balanced & smoother jointed. Allot of the WA calves have a bolder shoulder and can break some behind the shoulder on the toplines. JMO.

I use WA on most if my angus cows, but did breed a few to MAB this year. If you have enough cows try all three and see which ones you like better.

This.  And what i've seen, WA X Moderate frame Angus = way to moderate calf.
