have a couple heifers that i want to ai....i want to use a proven bull without sacrificing show quality and eye appeal. I have a pb charolais heifer that is a double bred cigar, a 3-D x hairietta (because she is bigger framed I need something to downsize her a little bit), a New Look daughter (super deep bodies, needs front end cleaned up slightly) and a Meyer 734 x emblazon. Was waondering is a bull like Tycoon was proven enough to work? Any other suggestions?

On the one you need to downsize I would try Get it Done from Brad Hook. The calves are smaller framed and pretty flashy. On the one you need to clean up the front on I would probaly go with Dirty Harry or Ali 2. I have a Dirty Harry calf out of a hannibal cow if youre interested in what one of his calves looks like. Good Luck!!! Heres a link to her pics www.showsteers.com/cummings Heres a couple of her older pics, new pics should be up on the link before too long.

Okay thanks everyone....but i didn't think that Gei it Done was a calving ease? Dirty hairy is an interesting idea

Yeah quite a few people have been using him and having pretty low bw calves that come easy.

Thanks everyone...im guna have to check into get it done.....wasnt aware he was a calving ease bull. But as far as the New Look heifer what would work best for her? I was thinking Tycoon? I want to get some club calves out of her. Thanks again!! :)

Try a Lowline Angus bull. There are several very good ones to chose from. Calves will weigh less than 60 lbs. and are very marketable. Check out flyingjlranch.com

I tried Northern Lite last year on heifers because of the added bonus of them being registerable and LOVE the calves, very stylish and the heifers had absolutely no trouble, skinny little noodles when they were born.

We had good results the past two years using Dirty Harry and Jake's Proud Jazz. Sometimes you will get a little bigger calf with DH,but have NEVER got a JAKE over 85 lbs.
