Sparty-On said:Which Maine/Maine Influenced bull would you recommend on a 1/2 blood Angus, EXT grandaughter? I am trying to decide between Mercedes Benz or I-80. I know they are both younger bulls, but they both have some super eye appeal. Thank you.

You have just complicated my life immensely. I have really like Benz since the first time I saw him. I am keeping some angus heifers as replacements and was sold on breeding to Bouncer. Your comments now have me rethinking the whole thing. I will be breeding several cows to Benz at the end of the month. Would you recommend him for angus and high percentage angus heifers as well?

Pa Pigman, I own a Lutton Daughter purchased from Express and a TC Freedom Cow from Jack Ward. I am flushing the TC Freedom Cow this Thursday bred to Benz and breeding the Lutton to Benz for a first calf heifer. This was based off how much he had improved our Commercial angus cows. We have been AIing for several years and never felt more confident in a bull.PaPigMan said:wscc,

RCF Farms, As in anything there is no guarentees in cattle breeding. However, I do not see any indications that the Benz calves will be to straight. Benz will definently put the Cocky look your after. It is fun to drive out in the pasture with people, We will have a feild of 60 head in a pasture and people always comment wow look at that cocky lookin calf, What is she??? BENZ. All of our Benz calves have been good boned and square hipped and good haired.RCF Farms said:WSCC, What will Benz bring to the table? Is there any worry of Benz making them to straight fronted, looks like he could be? Have two I want to breed him to. One is small to moderate Harrietta sonx 1/4 meyer needs more muscle, thickness and bone. The other is a moderate Carneyman X Draftpick needs more depth of rib and hair. Both could use that cocky look.
