He definitely will not add depth. We bred one of our belly dragging angus cows to him and the heifer she had he took some depth away but she is still a good replacement heifer just not as deep as I would like to see her at this stage. Bred him to a CharXMaineXAngus that had some depth to them...
As far as my experience with both Lut and Estramate, Lut they seem to come into heat more around the same time when doing a group. I do like Estramate as I use it on cows that don't work well with Lut. But it can take a little longer for them to come in.
Love my Hollywood calves. Hair, bone, and stout made. And he will color one up every now and then. Hannibal has worked for us. Had a Hannibal X HooDoo/Angus clean up bull for awhile. I'd use Hannibal on some smaller deep made kind of female. He is clean so you can use him on carrier cows.
Really impressive cow. As far as terminal cross I would go with Walks Alone. He flat works on cows like that. Hollywood too. Maternal I like Irish Whiskey or Draft Pick blood lines for Maines. Cerveza and her would make some cool females. Chi I like Total Play or Debull both still have daughters...
Here are a couple of options to look at. If she is a first calf heifer I'd look at an angus bull DaEsRo Twister first. He will add height and some extension. I have personally used him on heifers. He worked well for us. Now if you want a Maine other than Ali breeding look at DJ Caesar or...
Semen I think is still $20 to $25. Use him on Medium to smaller framed stout females doesnt matter what breed from what I remember. Birth weights were 85 to 90. We never had any structure issues with him. Daughters make very good clubby cows
As far as Maines go I would look at Strictly Business or one of his sons like Nuttin Butt Business or Ground Zero. I have seen several daughters of SB and they are very good cows. We plan on breeding to him this spring for replacements. The simmi side of things we have gotten along well with...
If you want power use Full Flush on her or one of his sons like Black Rhino, God father, White Eye (God Father son), or Black Pearl. Had a Bleeding Purple cow that needed powered up bred her to Black Pearl and it worked out well .
