Looking for some bull suggestions for a OEJ/Powertime heifer. Been tossing the the idea of using County O around but haven’t seen many calves out of him.. Thoughts and suggestions? Looking to stick with a Simmental or high percent Simmi bull..

Griswold has some in their Classic sale, which ends today. They’re very nice!!!  In looking at a bunch of sale calves this year a couple bulls have stuck out to me, CDI Innovator and Hammertime. We kept a Hammertime bull this year and he has tons of body and extension.

As a whole the County O calves were dang nice, maybe not the best in the offering, but certainly all were solid calves that had the right look.  He was also on my list and I will be using him.  Dew North was another one that I really like, but Griswold only had one and I've only seen maybe 1 other.  They were nice, but I'll wait a while before using him.

I've seen a couple Nightwatch calves, they are fancy and come easy.

I'm going to use THSF Loverboy on my 20-20 heifer.  He's pretty easy calving, calves grow good, and they are pretty dang nice to look at.  My other heifers will get LHT Viper and W/C Bullseye.

The options are pretty limitless IMO (I don't mind a +1.2BW on heifers)

I would use night watch.  I have a neighbor that used county O and the smallest bw calf was 98# and the largest was 128#. These were angus/Hereford cross cattle. He was really surprised and said quite a few had structure issues as well.
