I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of calves out of him? I am planning on breeding him on some angus based clubby cows next year and was wondering if this cross would work? Thanks in Advance

I had one in February from a Mabxmaine. I bred her mom back, hoping for another heifer next spring. This calf has a lot of body, good feet and legs, moves really well. I think she could be a really nice show heifer but time will tell.

Although we haven't had any Bandwagon calves, I have seen quite a few really good heifers out of him.  The most notable one I saw was at Campbell's last fall, he priced her to me pretty high, but he ended up keeping her and showing her at our state fair and I believe recently sold her as a bred for a pile of cash.  Super straight, good fronted, lot of rib shape and body, and sound.  I think you would probably get good results with your cows, especially since these bloodlines tend to do really well with Angus-based females.

I have calved 4 calves so far, 2 bulls and 2 heifers, that I'm very happy with. All had at least a little white on their faces and some blazes. They are more stout and square than the other Simmi calves, with good rib shape and structure. I also purchased a Bandwagon x Heatwave/Ali heifer last winter from Paulsen that I really like. The biggest complaint I have and have heard is they tend to have lower hanging briskets. We didn't rebreed or implant any for this Summer but will definitely use him again.

I have a steer calf that just got Res. Champion feeder steer at our County Fair behind our MAB calf.  Deep bodied with a bit of white on his head.  Judge commented that we should have left him a bull. message me with your number and I can send you pictures.  His mom is out of Aviator(Shorthorn) and Majors Money Man

We bred our maintainer heifer for the first time with this bull. We are very pleased of how she looks for a 3 month old calf. The only thing that is odd is her color pattern. I am not sure if it is from his or the dam's bloodline. I will use him again!
