we gave this cow the year off because she had a little trouble with her last calf, so now i'm trying to decide what to breed her to next time and would like to know what you would think she would work best with. ???

im gonna really step along ways out on a limb here, maxxim to add style and thickness, missisppis stud for thickness, walks alonte to thicken and square her up, if you want to breed her to a smoke id go smoke and mirrors

If this cow has a history of calving issues and has spent the year "off" I'd not even think about Heat Wave, and probably not even a son.

I guess I would like to know what "little trouble" she had, and why you gave her a year off.

her calf was out of a pb charolais bull and it ended up the calf came out at over130 lbs and we had a real rough time pulling it. we lost the calf and we nearly lost her. We were all at work when she decided to calve and it took nearly 48 hours just to get her to stand again.

Might consider Carpe Diem.  He seems to work real well on Charolais cows and you won't have to worry about birtweight issues.
