maternal perfection

wondering if anyone has any good/bad calving reports on him. What is he clicking with? What seems to be the things he is doing best? Thank you  (pop)

here is one that was on wades blog out of an Angus. Love the overall look of this calf. Or at least his hind end.

I have 9 Maternal Perfections on the ground now. They are all 10-13 days old. Time will tell how good they really are. But for now, they look really good. I have NO clubby cows. Most are Sim/Ang cows and reg Angus. The MP calves are all Very consistent, hairy, 60-75 bw, good bone and a really cool square hip. I was surprised all that white didn't translate to his calves. All have some sort of white on face and not a single one has white on legs. I ,personally, am happy about that. Overall, I am very pleased but am waiting to be too optimistic until they get a couple more months on them.

how are your calves looking out of him??

Anyone out there that could give a report on having calves out of Maternal Perfection and "Clubby" or crossbred cows?

Will he add depth of rib and guts?

Does he tend to "shorten the side", or length of his offspring?

You sure that is not a pic of a Border Collie puppy?

He added some middle for me and added some foot size. The calves have a nice square hip and no structure problems. I have a steer calf out of an Ali that I believe will make a nice show steer. Time will tell.

Here is the maternal perfection x ali calf I mentioned above.

Right on the money, Gargen. He's a good one.

Good one Gargan.

Thanks fellows. <beer>
