if the cows are larger framed, JTG will give you very consistent results which will make you look smart.

He's not real consistant, he's sired a good one here and there.  I personally like Tiger Woods (I didn't before I saw his calves), and JTG is making them stout, but too coarse for me.

Justin, I just had a conversation with someone that used TW last year, like you I was not a fan of the bull at all until I seen calves this year.  He had 3 and they are all will be marketable.  We went to a district 4-H fair last weekend and the champion feeder heifer and reserve feeder steers were TW's. 

What have you seen about his calves that you like?

Tony,

They're just real chubby, big footed, sound and hairy, all without getting TOO extreme. I like a little more moderate and soft-appearing (for lack of a better term) calf, and they just have been fitting the bill.  I have my eye on a TW x Double Down heifer, she is the real deal for ShorthornPlus. I also think he's far enough from HW that you could keep his heifers back without a problem.
