The heifer that the nephew is showing this year...she is an I-80 out of a Sin City (the black one)
and a past 4H project cow, the red shortie.
He wants to make his own steer for 4H or a quality heifer he can show.  Thanks in advance.

I would use Jesse James on the I-80. Check out Matt lautners blog and you can see multiple calving reports about Jesse James calves. I love Northern Improvement and it would be a great idea but I tried to buy some the other day and its over $100/straw. For the Re/White cow, I would use Man Among Boys! As a mature bull I think he looks 10x better than two tone. If she would happen to be a TH Carrier, I would use either Tiger Woods or Red Dirt (full brother to leroy brown but clean (I believe he is TH Free. its either red dirt or red bull). Lautner also has a new bull out called steam roller thats a troubador son and I think he could work for you! Good luck

Thanks!  I appreciate the input.  I was glad to see that Tiger Woods suggestion.  We had bought some in anticipation to use on her.  And I have seen tons of good comments on the Two Tone and Jesse James calves.  Both of these gals are pretty sound, but don't have those 'monster feet' the judges seem to love and they could use some more hair.  I can't wait to see what comes of it!  Thanks again for your help, folks!

KEEP EM COMING  :) :) :)

In my opinion, I really believe Man Among boys is better than two tone. he got use limited his rookie year and his calves were awesome. and The mature pic I saw of him at bull stud blew everything out of the water! also, he might be the hottest bull on the market and wade says he is working pretty much on every type of cow. Good Luck!

predator as a heifer?

I've seen a few heifers bred to predator and no train wrecks, but these didn't have any hw or high bw's in them already.

I'd also try texas twister on that sh cow.

That Man Among Boys is a top pick, it seems. Someone sent that also in a PM. 

I really appreciate the suggestions :)

Anybody like his showgirl for this year? (the black one)
