Our draftpick cow was in heat thismorning. We are going to breed her tonight. I was wondering what we should breed her to? Im looking for a cool steer calf and she is kinda bigger framed. I have HeatWave, monopoly,alias,paleface,smooth sailing,milkman,ali,eyes on the money,manchild,dr.who,hannibal,moody blues,
Thanks and I need ideas asap! :)

if she is nice necked and less than 50% angus I would go with Monopoly.  But i would also consider Smooth Sailing to get some Flush influence into her.  Full Flush x Draft Pick has been a winning combo for quite a while.  a little heat wave influence to soften them up and add hair and feeding ability should enhance it further.

Thabks for the responses everybody! I really appreciate it! keep them coming ;). I was originally thinking HW just because all I want out of this cow is a good steer! She is a pha carrier and is getting very old, her udder is starting to become disperportioned as well and I don't want a heifer calf to carry that poor udder into the herd. So I figured that if I get a heifer out of HW or a son I will be much much less tempted to keep the calf because of HW poor maternal traits. She has a huge foot to here and a awesome hip and Im just guna pray that I get her stuck and pray its a bull calf! :)
