Howdy guys I was in the pasture the other day and started thinkin about tryin to get an abc calf out of one of our american cows crossed to one of these bulls and try something like charles schroeder has done in fort worth the past two years. The cow is a brangus cow that is made right, super sound, huge middle, yet a little finer boned but has thrown plenty of character from every bull we have used from angus to charolais. She has zero clubby so im not concerned about structure and is also an older cow so birthweights arent an issue. She is fairly level hipped just needs more power. Which one do yall think would match her? I will get a pic asap she is not a huge cow either probably a frame score 5.5 or 6.

Thanks and gig em!

I like the Milkmans. Here is one of our heifers out of a purebred charolais. Just took the picture this morning. She had even better hair a month ago but she is starting to shed out now. Her mother had nice hair and if you are looking to have hair the cow better have some. I am not saying he takes away hair but he does not add it. Milkman should add bone and hip to your brangus. Just my opinion.

Awesome heifer drl. Wish she was in my pasture. Wish I owned her dam as a matter of fact she throws calves like that. Does she buck over just an extremely tiny bit in her front knee or is it just the picture? I think its just the picture.

The champion abc at fw 2 years ago was a milkman, but this year's champion abc was outta of schroeder's purebred Charolais bull named West Covina.

Yes sir I know that when i refered to doing what they have the past two years I meant taking a charolais influenced one to fort worth its just the matter of gettin on good enough with hair that is soft enough

Your gambling big time when breeding to Milkman with those birth wieghts.  Realize that if anyone else had the two Americans from Charles, their hair and presentation wouldn't be any more than a placing steer or classed out two years ago.  Anything might work.

With a big bodied cow yellow jacket might work. i have my best brangus cow right now bred to the pb charolias bull firewater. no clubby but the bull is moderate super thick and throwing champions around in the chaolais breed.
