Been seeing allot of Monopoly heifers, both open heifers and bred heifers for sale for breeding stock, not just "Market Show Heifers".
I've always thought of Monopoly pretty much as a terminal club calf sire, being a Heat Wave son and all, although I do realize his dam is a very good PB Angus cow (not sure how maternal, however she is). I'm thinking of "keeping back" some Monopoly daughters myself and would appreciate your experiences. Since the bull Monopoly has been around for quite awhile, and has sired several generations of calves, my question(s) are...
1. Whom among you have Monopoly daughters in production? How are there calves?
2. How do you like them or how does he work? Do the cows flesh?...Do they milk?...How are their udders?...Will they breed back?...Are their pelvics of "sufficient size" for calving?
3. What type of dam(s) are your Monopoly daughters out of? Or in other words, what type of cows does he "WORK" best on, for replacement females?
Thank you,
I am hoping this makes for a good post and positive conversation during our Holiday Season!
