any bulls that will put some cool color in the calf

sorry, not sure what happend...

Not to be smart, but literally-- this could be every single 3 way cross bull on the list, any list.  the way color genetics work any combination could result in color, especially more breeds and crosses that get injected into them..

Typically, the more char and shorthorn, the more color that you can get in the calves.  The less Angus in them, will also help get more color.  You have to remember color is half the cow.  I've got one old Herfx Angus cow, that's been bred to bulls of every color and breed-- and she made a black calf from everyone of them, except this year her bull calf had a white sheath. 

If you want more spefics, I've heard that SunSeeker makes the most color of any.  Of course I've also heard that
RainMaker
My Turn
Dr. Who
and of course HW and HS will bring it out of a cow. 

I've also seen some Tiger Woods with color, heck even colorful WMW and Carpe Diem..  Of couse, I've seen 5 blacks to every 1 colored one from those sires as well..

One of the biggest color setbacks that anyone will ever see is Indian Outlaw-- I honestly don't think he'll breed half as crazy as he is... 

If you want something more 'guarenteed', then you'd better go purebred on the bull.. white shorthorn if you want a blue from a black cow, char if you want a smoke, herf if you want baldy

so what was the point in you asking the question if you already knew the answer you were looking to hear?

O- well I don't think you got a very good response then...

I've never use any of those bulls-- just seen plenty of calves and pictures.. Of course in this clubby deal, sometimes it's hard to tell what the 'real' pedigree is.  Seen an aweful lot of calves here that are sired by xx, then get sold to a trader, and pick up HW tags.
