clubbie bred cows

[SteerguyIA]

I'm at the point where i'm getting to old to show but i'm really excited to start raising club calves to sale my question is what are the best sires of cows that are nice phenotypically but can still milk and raise a nice calf i'm looking for either more clubbie bulls or maine bulls.
Thanks

Of course I'm going to say cows which are at least 50% Maine-Anjou.  (and I suppose if I were looking at only clubbie I would search out WMW cows)

The Habanero bloodlines make good females, Lifeline, Kadabra, and Laredo. Other maternal Maine sires are Majors Money Man, Calberta Black Impact, and Irish Whiskey.

only heatwave blood that milk so far that i have seen were actually carnacs. Had two bred heifers that do a good job not good luck with any other for now as far as heatwave stuff IMO

anyone notice anything unique about heatwave daughters born unassisted that also milk?  is that population below 10?

Agree with the others.  WMW cows seem to be the best thing going right now.  Also like Dr. Who's.  Nothing wrong with a real nice Full Flush cow either.  Anybody doing much with Foreplay cows out there?  Some of the better donors I have seen have been Foreplays.

From what I've learned go with the look that you think will sell or what will be the next big thing.

The cow in my avatar is a foreplay. She is one of te best cows that we have. Her calves come a little small but growgood. The only thing about her is that she doesnt have a lot of milk.

Harwood 209, Northern Improvement (on exotics), Habanero sons except Lifeline (very hard keepers).  Dr. Who, though I've not used him.  Don't get your steer producing cows to clubby.

I agree, but would still recommend your cows be a minimum 50% Maine-Anjou.  We bred and raised a 7/8 Simmental 734 son several years ago, and used him two years on my PB Maine-Anjou cows.  The heifer calves were great for the showring, and ended up as great cows.  The bull calves were really good show steers and "Clubbie" bulls.  This idea also produces calves which can be double registered (just another marketing benefit)
