I'm getting ready to purchase some semen for my monopoly x hoodoo heifer and I was ready to get some firewater semen, but now I can't decide to go with him or gunsmoke.  I haven't really seen too much or heard a lot about him.

DO NOT USE FIREWATER ON HEIFERS.  Firewater has lousey calving ease numbers. Plenty of better oprions for a heifer exist ranging from Ledger to Wrangler.  You want a live calf and a healthy heifer. I would also look at the new bull that Genex has  MVY Xplorer 21X.  He has a very low BWT EPD (-8.0) decent growth numbers and he was the camadian Boss show bull of 2012: http://www.charolaisbanner.com/trin/2015/xplorer.gif.  Chdck ouhis bull calves in this catalog from this year: http://issuu.com/pdrneepawa/docs/classic_catalogue_for_web?e=2717029/11709357
