Here is a sample of what our cows look like... heavily Charolais influenced.  Have used Milkman, Rocky and Mellow Yellow.  What do you all think will work?  Have thought of My Turn? Headliner? Maybe a black simmi?  Totally overwhelmed in trying to pick at least 2 bulls to use.  Cows are mostly larger framed and would like to down size... tired of fats being over 1350.... some chrome would be nice, but just want good solid calves with no cow killers!    Any insight appreciated.

As I am running out the door, I am so addicted to this site.

I would try Who Made Who and Heat Seeker. They should not add any size to the calf. One clean and the other dirty for TH. There is a whole host of newbies on the market if you want to take a chance on new one. I would try the old standbys and see if it works then go with newbies.Great looking cows by the way. Walks ALone would be an interesting choice. You could always try and if your cows have similar bloodlines breed to different bulls. One of them is bound to click.

Calf in pic is a Rocky.  They are decent calves but want more power and width than getting on them.

Rajun Cajun or  Sun Seeker.  If you want color people have posted some very impressive pics of Tiger Woods calves.  If I were going to give one of the new lautner bulls a shot I would try the Big Jimmy bull.  But I am always up for trying something new and out of the box.

Carnac would proably be first choice or Monopoly, maybe thats why your considering Headliner ...Just got a brain storm, have used White  Noise ,he's double dirty but he did a pretty good job on one of my Charolais cows.  COULD BE REAL COOL WITH THE CREAM COW ...My Turn  is another bull that might really turn the crank....I'm not sure I will get a CharX this year out of him but I definitely will in the future...some of the Carnacs can get to big, just never know ....Another thought is Carpe Deim , for you guys that have heifers bred to him you might start going to church more often ...
