Anyone have any pictures of his calves?  How's his calving ease?  I'm thinking of using him on a first calf heifer, she's an Itallion Stallion out of a purebred shorthorn cow.  Thank you for any info you have.

We've got an Italian Stallion x Shorthorn and we will be using Brilliance on her. We have used a lot of PB Maine bulls in the past on heifers. Specifically, Simplicity from Brauns. He worked very well but we felt we didnt get quite enough punch out of them as yearlings.

I was also looking at these 2 Angus bulls.  Any experience with them?  I have used brilliance in the past, liked his calves just not their temperment.  Could have been a fluke, but their dams were both very docile cows.

Just by nature of their respective breeding programs, the Musgrave bull is gonna be a little more cow oriented and the Power Chip bull is more of a show heifer type of deal. Not to say they can't do both. I have liked progeny out of both. The Power Chip is gonna have some BW in him due to the First Class, regardless of what the numbers say.
