I have a couple of monoply and bojo show heifers that need to be bred. What is easy calving but will also be more likely to have a saleable calf. These are very maternal and super soft and sound. Thanks

I am anxious for a chance to try Ali or Mercedes Benz on a Monopoly.  As heifers I still like angus, I have used sexed heifer connealy thunder or final answer, but I seem to have bigger calves than some guys....

I hope to hear some other suggestions....

Jesse James from Lautner.... Come small and hairy. Stay hairy and sell good.

I am thinking about using Troubador on some Monopoly heifers.  His calves are coming easy.  For Texas, that may work better than using a black bull.

Monopoly has been working great on simmy's so why not try a simmy on a monopoly? But definately use a proven calving easy bull.

We have used Final Answer several times before and never had a real large heifer or steer also BC Lookout works real well for first time calving.  Lautners also suggests I-80 for calving ease.

I had great luck with Power 2 Change....these calves came smaller than my Angus calves and really are nice. The best ones are out of Monopoly, Lut and Goldmember daughters.

I have just recently seen a picture of a Monoply X Ali cross and it was really nice.  Clean neck, lots of body and hair.

Any pics of your P2C calves?  He's a bull that has always intrigued me.  I would think females out of him should be very maternal.
