You posted this in the introduction forum not in the main "Big Show" I moved it to the Big Show and then bumped it back up hoping you would get a reply.

We have used Rocky Balboa on heifers and got along good as far as calving ease.  The calves were nice, marketable as kind of county level show calves, not world beaters.  This was mostly on heifers with a shot of Maine or Simmy - out of Angus cows I don't think they'd be any stouter.  Can't tell you anything about unstoppable.

We have used Rocky several times on our heifers and always get a good solid calf that will be small, sound and hairy. This year we got a set of very small twin heifers and one really nice very large, big bone, square hip and hairy heifer but she is not like most of the Rocky calves we have had. All of ours have been out of Maine cross or Shorthorns.

thanks for the info.  wonder what would be the best club bull to a.i to straight angus.

For females- Irish Whiskey has always been amazing on straight blood angus and Meyer 734 works great too.

X2.. after talking to several people about WA he seems to work best on pure bred cattle like Angus,Charolias, Shorthorn, ect.  Bred to clubby females they may not be as pretty fronted..

As mentioned above the RB come small but I think most are county level calves at best...G-Luck
