We have seen several posts about using GrandMaster on clubby cows  now I want to turn it around and let you guys tell me what I should use on a GrandMaster Daughter that we will be flushing. She is our 3/4 Blood Simmental , 1/4 Shorthorn female that we had out last year. She was the Grand Champion% female at the Dixie National, 2nd to overall champion in class at the North American, and 3rd in class to the champion and res overall at Denver( tough age class this year) 
    Since our main buisness is Purebred and % simmental breeding cattle we need some advice about the club calf side. It's been a long time since I showed and sold steers, not to age myself  but Sugar Ray , Black Power Play, Platnium and the new guy people were talking about was a bull named Who Made Who.
      She is TH free and we would like to keep the genetic defects out  and I know this s a reach but we need calving ease in these future embryos due to the fact that we use our registered  cows for recips and then turn in our stud bulls as clean up for our normal purebred needs.

I have attached her pic taken right after the Dixie National and another one just taken from the truck after she calved. she has a purebred bull calf at her side sired by an old bull we had in the Genex line up several years ago called Choice Plus. He was a Nichols Kelly 75U son and sired by a bull named Hercs Black Edge (out cross pedigree, homo blk,homo polled and calving ease) her calf is a black roan faced bull (for those of you who seen her yes the Question has been answered on the purebred calf color, were naming him Evolution) as you can see after we peeled her she was'nt just all hair
Again thanks for any info you can give us

Probably Walks Alone or Monopoly IMO.  I think Walks Alone will give you a better front and Monopoly will give you a deeper sided calf.  On this particular cow, I would probably use Walks Alone as my first choice.

No genetic defects.

Clubby flush- can't go wrong with Who Made Who- she is sound and great depth should be a nice calf either way.

    How about My turn on her I know I will gain some genetic carrier possibilities  but will I lose calving ease potential I really like the My turn calves I have seen

We will probably sell a flush after we do the first one to get a track record on her

Again Thanks for all the Input

  My Turn may work well on her, but I have yet to personally see a MT that doesn't have very curly hard hair.

  Sorry to change the subject Simmy Breeder, but how do the SS Ebony Premium Blend calves compare to the GM calves? Thanks, Brent

The Ebonys Premium Blend calves look real nice we will be dragging some this summer and fall. They are big boned big hipped and have a cocky look. They are not as soggy as the GM calves and do come alot heavier at birth compared to GM they have been in the 85 -- 95 lb range pretty consistantly, shape is good just a little heavier as you would expect from his sire

Johnny,
Sorry we didn't get back to you on this by phone.  Our choice, since you think you want to go clubby, is Who Made Who or Dirty Hairy. 
Of course you may want to try Walks on Water....try it

Johnnie, She looks really good!!!  When I was down there in the fall to look at the grandmaster daughter we ended up buying, I thought she was one of the best half blood "females" i'd seen in a while.  She's proving to be just that.  We are very happy with the grandmaster daughter we bought from you last fall.  She's confirmed safe to Sheriff Taylor for a first of the year baby, and I promise you won't even recognize her from the picture you took of her that is in the select sires catalog.  I look forward to breeding our 4 donors after we are done flushing this summer, and of course i'll be breeding them to sexed Grandmaster.
