What spring calving matings are you looking forward to?

I saw a thread asking the same question from a couple years back and thought it would be fun to see what calves everyone has coming.

Mine would be:

1) Double Stuff x Heatseeker
2) Bojo x Laredo/Draft Pick
3) Point Taken x Payoff-Reflector/Angus
4) Monopoly x Mossy Oak
5) Free 4 All x PB Shorthorn

Still have 1.5 to 2 months before we get in the thick of things, already have a calf out of a Money Man cow.


                       

My Turn x Maine Angus
Heatseeker x Pale Face
Naughty Pine x half blood 'horn

My heifers are out of:
Sin City x Draftpick daughter
Nuf Said x Meyer Grandaughter
Cunia 602
Ali

The bull they are bred to is a registered shorthorn bull named NPS Rocky Rider, he is a Red Riders Drive grandson.

All our cows got bred by our herd bull "Larry the Cable Guy" ( Heat Wave x Habanero's dam). Plus a few AI's by Milkman, Smooth Sailing, Heat Wave, Alias.

JPJ X Fancy(Myrtle Bo X Vortec)--3/4 sister to SULL BO DIDDLEY & 1b,c,d lot heifers in Sullivan's Maternal Legends Sale --due  1/26/10

CVF Homedale Myrtle Bo(our donor cow) will have a natural calf by K&A Kasanova 2/5/10

CVF Homedale Myrtle Bo X TM Gus embryo due on 2/23

BFS Lovely Lady(Trump) X DCC Premium Blend on 3/3(This 2nd calf cow is the mother of the TM Gus bull calf we're selling at the MN State Sale)

Miss Rusty(Vegas) X Hannibal on 3/18

MAV Charmer(Sonny) X Hannibal on 3/24

Char X(DR Who)   X Money Man on 4/3

BFS Roan Queen(Vortec) X TM Gus on 5/13

We have a Hard Core(2/23) and Money Man(3/3) coming out of our Clubby bred cows.

We  sold our Pretender cow to the Long Family.   She is due to have a Who Made Who heifer calf on 3/4---This should be a really good rip!!
My daughter is showing a full sister this year that just gets better every day!!

We have also consigned SGK Carmeleon Tonic to the MN State Sale in early February.   She is bred to a really good Red Angus bull for her second calf in late May.

Its really hard to predict which of these mating will click the best---I've tried to predict the outcome several times and I just end up second guessing myself.   Overall, I think we have the best mating line up we've ever had---can't wait to see what the little guys look like!!

I found mandan on Sellect Sires

With our small angus herd, we'll have:

2 Limestone Dark Horse calves (first one due Jan 25th)
3 BC Eagle Eye calves (due end of Feb)
1 SAV Bismarck (end of Feb)

And finish up with calves out of our herd bull, RTM Top Shelf (http://www.bluffcountrycattle.com/topshelf.html)
As good as the first crop of Top Shelf calves were, the AI sires will certainly have to live up the hype!! 

Darkhorse calves coming also
Satchmo on some simmy cows
Maximus x angus Donor
BMR Explorer x angus Donor

anyone have any info on boyd beefmaker calves?
