Here's one out of a Heatseeker cow. He's really cool, have to see how he ends up.

does he really beed the same as monopoly original?
he is a clone therefore he has the same genes as monopoly and should breed the same. but some claim that clones arent as good. Also, in my opinion many of the good calves out of clones are just said to be out of the original.

ive heard the clones arent as good either
because semen is cheaper and people breed them to lesser quality cows therefore the calves don't look as good, but don't equate that to the bull

Awsome calves as always Mr. Fred!  <beer>

I have one heifer and bull calf so far, I got one that should come here real quick I hope  :-\ and another in a couple of weeks! Ill post pictures once I get a chance! I got a monopoly that's turning out to be an awesome cow and one in the replacement pen!
Not to jeopardize the post but how big is your monopoly cow? I have a heifer that could make some great steers... but she's not very tall. Any ideas on what I should breed her to?

Giving you a chance to compare the Monopoly sires .....Just had 3 flush calves in last two days ....2 heifers and one bull---These are out of the original Monopoly and a 602 cunia bred cow ....

FIRST SHOT-  BULL just born to day --
SECOND SHOT- Both heifers born a couple days ago ...
THIRD SHOT ---The red heifer from second shot ...   all in the 80 lb. bw  -out of pretty good sized cow...

My only complaint so far with the MONOPOLY 2 calves is that they are not coyote resistant ,the very first calf on this post the coyotes got ,lost two others and ANGUS calves are not reesistant either ...

CARLSON CATTLE-- AS far as I can tell there isn't much difference in the calves between monopoly & 2 ,I also had some 3 calves and they weren't even close and conception wasn't as good .....AS far as 4  I hope I have enough semen to let someone else try him out ....There are getting to be
some very good sons and alternatives to them....Those Monopoly x Charolais heifers are hard to beat .....

made it out and got a couple of pictures of my other monopoly 2 babies.
both out of simxangus cows
the black one I personally dont like, I cant find a bull to click with her haha
the red bull calf is real cool, I've sold 3 steers out of this cow to some relatives in California that won there district show with and they were just out of our 3/4 sim bull sired by goldmine. So it will be interesting how he turns out.

Great Set of calves, I'm really liking the mo x char cross they all look good!

in picture maybe not a lot of leg, in person they got leg just like the rest of our commercial calves.

are you meaning bone? if so nope they don't have huge bone, but that is alright with me...... frame wise, they will both be tall it never fails, every calf I've raised ends up in the tall division at the county fair. I bred them to be smaller framed but it don't look like it
