There are so many Connealy bulls that I like. I would like to hear from folks who have had Capitalist calves or seen Capitalist calves in person.  How good do you think he is? How does he compare to other Final Answer sons or other popular A.I. bulls. Thanks in advance.

My father in law bought a son last year out of a bull test that was really good. Long thick and deep really a nice bull. He does have one fault he rolls to the outside on his feet alittle and he does have smaller feet which I do believe to maybe be a connealy problem. I have t seen him this year so I can't speak as to how he looks as a two year old.

Have a registered daughter of him and she has a month old calf at side.  She is doing a good job.  She had typical Angus bone (not frail, but not the show type Angus) but is correct structurally and walks very well.  Decent udder, teat size could be just a little smaller for longevity.  Feet seem to be decent, has acceptable depth of heel.  Disposition is good.  Had her calf on her own and does a good job of keeping track of it.

We have had some good cattle by BC Lookout.  My herd bull is a son of Lookout and he has so much calving ease I use him on clubby bred heifers and have never had a problem.  He throws really nice females, but they can be a touch too moderate.  I have been going back with some older stuff with Nichols Extra K205 to add a little frame and get the EXT influence without the attitude.  Had a real nice bull by EXAR Wade In, which is a CRA Bextor son who I used as a yearling and just sold as a 2-year old that is a breeding machine.  Currently looking at WMR Timeless and sons Rathbun Accelerate and Bushs Triple Threat for holding the line on maternal ability while adding performance.  I like the looks of my Bushs Unbelievable calves but have had some questions on his sons' testicle shape even though they passed their BSEs just fine and some tendency to toe out a little on the fronts.  Just had a PVF Insight heifer calf born a couple days ago that might have a nice look.  Also like the O'Reilly Factor heifer we had a month ago.
