Ok, so in EVERYONES opinion, what club calf bull OR any purebred bull adds the absolute MOST bone to their progeny while keeping from making a sound cows calf into a not so sound calf. Lets hear your votes and opinions!!! I didnt post a poll because I dont know what everyone will choose. Thanks again!!! :)

Heatwave of course but from what I've seen of them I thought Kadabra always threw alot of bone no matter the cow.

  I would have to say some of the older Maine bulls would add too much bone, ie. calving difficulties. Why are you looking for maximum bone? Just curious.

Because thats what this cow needs and all she needs really. Any names on the older maine bulls? Habanero maybe?

it all depends on the cow,most club calf bulls are not consistant  you rely have to know your cow to know what bull would add the extream highlights like bone and hair etc

I love the bojo bull and also a full sib to him that we sold as a steer this year but I dont believe there are enough calves on the ground to quote him as the "biggest" bone trait passer, also by being an ali son that kinda kills it also. I love the bull, his sire, his dam, and that breeding I just dont think thats the one to be calling the "Bone Collector" haha  (lol)

Could you give us the cow's pedigree on Bojo?

I saw the pic of Bojos dam and was thoroughly "WOWED"!!! She looked like an extremely impressive cow, I wonder if they will ever offer eggs on her, I dont believe there have been any on sales or for sale yet that I know of.

  XXCC would be the older Maine genetics guru to go to.

In ML's golf tourney thing, one of the prizes is a flush of Bojo's  mother

One that seemed to make them big boned all the time was the old maine bull Cigar. Habenero not so much.
