Alias/Yellowjacket

[cattlechick]

I have some small to med frame cattle,some short/angus and purebred Angus for candidates. Does Alias or Yellowjacket downsize at all?

 

[mashowcattle]

i have a steer out of yellow jacket and he has stayed pretty moderate!

 

[cattlechick]

Was he used on smaller framed cows?

 

[mashowcattle]

more of a medium frame cow.. that pic i have rite there of that red steer is him

Yellowjacket wont make them smaller.  But he will make them good with enough grow to make a heavy weight show steer.

Do you need to use YJacket on really clean fronted ones, what does he do in that dept? Mashowcattle- thats a nicecalf in your picture there

 

[mashowcattle]

thanks. yes i would use him on a clean fronted cow because thats the only thing about that steer was as he got older the heavier that front got but it wasnt bad just could have been cleaner!

don't know about yellowjacket but Alias I would use on Large framed cows you want to scale down.  Every one of ours has been small framed and early maturing out of Angus x cows.  Did use him on a simmi x shorthorn and he had some size too him.  I will say that ours had a lot of style and pizazz too them.  Hope this helps

Better breed Alias to a really good fronted cow,cause that sucker is as straight as a string up on his front end.....Yellow Jacket should be used much more than he has,even for "haired" shows.
