depends on what the cows look like. I have seen some pretty soft made deep sided monopoly cows. I am not a fan of walks alone. Carcass wise our walks alone have been outstanding. I was shocked. Do you have a couple pictures of the cows? I used maines back on those genetics it seems to work on soft made females.

I had 2 walks alone cows. Both very different from each other. I used an angus bull named safe bet on the more market heifer type female that clicked really well. The other is a softer made big bellied cow moderate frame. Bred her to Thriller and got a very nice, hairy, sound, puppy dog, showy type steer. He could use a little more muscle shape but overall should be a good fat steer. He was a brockled face.

I have 2 Th free & pha free monopoly cows I used Maternal Perfect and BIM on them. Had a set of twins out of MP which I lost so hard to say how they would turn out :(. I'll attach a picture of the BIM. I have another Monopoly in the show pen that I'm thinking No Worries on her.

we use yellow jacket when you flush them (too big to have naturally), and either i80 or i67.

I have had had excellent luck with Crimson Tide on my Walks Alone females.  These females are out of simmental cows and a bit larger than most Walks Alones.  Also, Troubadour works but will add some frame and the semen is hard to get.  I bred some WA's to Smokin Joe and will have calves in August/September.  I think both the monopoly's and the WA's make good cows, if they are out maternally bred cows.

I'm also curious! I recently purchased a 1/2 Simmi Monopoly cow and was also wondering the same thing!  ;D
