Does he throw light calves? Wanted to AI him to a Who Made Who Charolais cross heifer What do you think would mix well with her that is a calving ease bull.

i like the shiver bull but this year we have had terrible luck with him he didnt throw light calves at all! both were in the high 80's and were very hard pulls... not good:/ and rocky balboa was worse!

i actully kinna liked this bull really dont know allot about him though

I saw him when he was at Hawkeye Breeders early last summer. I liked him a lot there when I saw him. I have a 3/4 Charolais heifer due to him on April 5th and a really big commercial heifer to him on June 6. We will find out. I will say that the decision was close to breeding between him and I-67. When I went to go pick the semen up I decided to stop at Hawkeye one more time and have a look (I live close by, so easy enough for me.) Torrington had gone back to Wyoming, but I-67 was there. I just felt for me that Torrington was a lot more sound on his rear legs, personal preference type of thing. I'm excited to see what kind of calves I get.
