breeding quetion

[Dvrom]

this is my 5 year old in focus cow and i was wondering what your opinions are for breeding her? i was looking at walks alone or bim or two tone?

 

[ROMAX]

Walks Alone might be a good choice, but judging by that pic i wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

[A.I.GUY]

I think you would be very pleased with the calf if you bred her to a maine bull. Like Mercedes Benz or GVC SUH or GVC Maverick bulls like that should clean up the front end pretty good add bone hair and muscle definition!

From the picture this cow has plenty of mass and hip! just needs to be a little cleaner in her front and pretty her up a bit! so im gonna agree with A.I. guy and go with a maine bull! i would reccomend gucci personally

 

[Dvrom]

what about paddy?

 

[Woodland Farms Show Cattl]

Paddy might work too. just watch the PHA factor. as long as the cow is clean i wouldnt be scared but if shes a suspect i would stick witha clean bull, paddy also doesnt tend to clean up front ends as much from what ive seen.

I think Walks Alone may work if your cow is not too small.  We will sure make them pretty fronted  and add  bone, muscle and good hair.  My Walks Alone calves out larger cows have been very moderate in frame.

yeah she isnt that small of a cow. and this picture was taken of her just a week and a half after calving. and she has decently muscled calves that could use some more bone hair and of course they could use some more muscle. and she is clean.

Then I would use Walks Alone on her.  His calves are easy to sell.  I haven't sent one to the sale barn yet.

Exactly what I was going to say!!

I also like the Maine idea.  Though I am a big fan of GVC Suh, I would not use him to clean up front ends.

If you are hoping for a heifer/cow, CTR Success would possibly match up well with your cow. If you are wanting steers there would be better choices.

I agree withhold CTR Success. He is the foundation of much of our herd, and his females are very versatile.
