i just want to hear some opinions on this bull

gary89 · Mar 8, 2011

I have looked at him a couple of times @ Nichols. I think he is kind of piecey and wasn't all that impressed with him. He is thick, but does not really stand out at stud. I would stick with Monopoly if he has worked for you. Just my opinion.

Kory439 · Mar 8, 2011

ok thanks from pictures thats what i thought of him also. so what are some bulls that have stood out to you besides monopoly?

Kory439 · Mar 8, 2011

or for anybody looking on here what do you think a good choice would be for a club calf bull to breed to some simangus cows

headliner

I liked Walks Alone, Believe in Me, Bodacious, and Walks on Water (Saw him last year.) My neighbor has a real nice Smilin' Bob. With simm x angus you have a lot of good options. A Heatwave clone may work the best for you. It can all get pretty confusing, just find one you like and give it a try.

yes there are a ton of options! i do like the heat wave clones. how about matt lautner's new bulls pretty impressive group. heater from van meter looks pretty nice i think

I haven't seen him. My advice would be to use something proven. You cannot go off of the picture. I am telling you there are some that do not look anything like there picture. Some of these bulls have been flushed to expensive donors and if they actually saw what they used they might lose their lunch

I love my Headliner calves! Only have 2, a heifer and a bull! They came small, lots of vigor and are really stylish! Out of 2 very different commercial cows, so am impressed and will post pictures soon. They are sounds, smooth jointed, and thick, but not too extreme in any way. Maybe to "plain" for the big guns, but I like them and they will work very well in our program.

that is true

I would agree that our headliner calves were, stylish but not extremely stout. I think on a really powerful cow headliner will do a great job.

thanks for the input everyone. i have 10 simangus cows i want to AI to a couple club calf bulls pry try two different bulls use each on five cows. im very excited. and headliner was on my list before and i liked him alot ive seen a few calves out of him and was impressed

Kory439 · Mar 9, 2011

another thing i thought id ask how are the birthweights on the headliner calves? i know he has a birthweight of 98 but didnt know if his progeny are consistently around that. just looking for a general range?

jpcattle11 · Mar 9, 2011

Are Headliners all came easy. I would say most of them were 85 to 90 range, but no difficult births

You could also use WMW and shoot for replacement heifers, that market has been hot lately and the WMW x sim/angus is a popular one
