I havent' heard any calving reports on Thriller and haven't seen many calf pics. I used him in a flush to one of my reg. Angus donors and got 6 calves this spring and only 1 was a heifer bred him to 2 others and got a really nice heifer out of an All Star reg Angus cow and a good steer prospect out of a big SimAngus cow. I think he crossed better with the reg Angus cows than he did with SimAngus.

1st pic is Thriller X All Star heifer
2nd pic is Thriller X Oscar 711 ET heifer ( cow raised Grand Angus Heifer Houston 09' )
3rd pic is rear of 3 Thrillers X Oscar 711 ET bulls

I guess Thriller was only tried by Texans. Easttex and DCC I hope he works for you as good as he did for me. He really adds a big back and widens their hooks and pins. ET calves were all in the 90's and the 2 naturals were low 80's. I am planning on getting more THF females out of him and going back with Monopoly for their 2nd calves.

Calves are just right frame size right now I will keep you posted. Excellent structure w/good lines. Calves out of the angus all have white on belly with 1 inch of white tip tails, calf out of solid black SimAngus has white behind shoulders & all 4 legs w/dot on forehead.
