Has anyone had any calves yet.  I laughed when he came out, but think he might have a place.

I thought the same thing. I would be interested in using him on some heifers but my dad is still skeptical. There was a heifer on here that was for sale out of him. Looked pretty nice. Love to hear if there are any others that have used him.

Yes, used on a stouter cow, and I think a cow that is a little straighter in its back leg, my calf out of him has heatwave on the bottom side, but she has a quite a bit more leg set. That being said she is very good, great profile super deep rib and expansive ribbed. Super stout, and SUPER HAIRY! And another thing, that 50 pound birthweight is not just a bluff, my calf came real easy and was up nursing in no time probably 60 poud birthweight. Any other questions feel free, I will definitely be using him again

Yes I have pictures I am currently working on my phone she is on the old classifieds, she came polled, and when she was a calf was slightly crazy, but once we got her broke she's a puppy dog. Would let anyone walk her.

From what I heard after the 1st calf crop, I would not use him on 1st calf heifers. It wasn't that they were so big, but they are little blocks. You may want  to call Hunter Brothers and ask them about it though B/C this was hear say.

Like I said I used him on a first calf heatwave heifer, and the calf came easy and wasn't a block, but my expierience may be a good one.
