I know this has been asked before, even by me with pictures, but it's a new year and either I'm not searching correctly or I am blind because I am only seeing older posts.  We have 3 THC cows (7 yr old, and two 3 yr olds, also a yearling that I need to blood test yet but will assume THC for now).  We are shooting for steers or market heifers.  Old cow is a Golden Child x Mossy Oak.  One 2 yr old is her daughter by Rumor Mill.  This breeding clicked nicely and added dimension and depth to her compared to momma who is pretty tubular. She's bred to HXC Conquest as the first choice did not stick and this was next best we had in the tank The other 2 yr old is the 7 yr old's granddaughter by Mercedes Benz.  MGS was a line bred Northern Improvement bull.  She is not as powerful as the Rumor Mill, not as much depth, but more feminine.  An extremely flukey situation resulted in her losing her calf this year.  The yearling is the 7 yr old's calf by LT Bluegrass.  Our goal there was to soften her up and add some depth, this accomplished that in our opinion.  Not needing anymore females at this time we want steers or market heifers.  The 7 yr old is due in a month to Hoo Made Hoo.  We also tried Business Done Right, and Firepower last year on her now deceased daughter but none stuck, that's why she's gone.  Moto Moto intrigues me on the yearling, but all are up for grabs.  Color does not matter, just want the best chance for the most powerful live calf we can shoot for.  What's everyone's thoughts?  I can post pics if anyone asks.

little old school = Hairy Bear or Yellow Jacket
New (Newer) School= No Limits, Grizzly Bear, Starburst, or Thriller
Brand New = I think Clean Machine is going to work

Just had a Dakota Gold heifer last week out of our Almost Famous donor who is THC. And this little lady is lights out. Huge legged jacked neck(cow is pretty dirty fronted) and shag nasty. Got 2 more coming in a couple weeks but extremely impressed so far

Don't forget All Aboard (THF flushmate to Monopoly), Amen or Uncle Kracker for those cows with a smooth shoulder.

Timesaver is our favorite especially if you have younger showers they are calm and we have never had a problem or a naughty one. He also throws nice heifers. We have used them for breeding and they have lots of milk with no calving problems.

Sizzler14, What makes you think Clean Machine is going to Work?  Honestly.  Have you seen him.  What's your opinion?  I like what I know and would like to use him.  But I've only see a few pictures from Denver or the Photoshopped pic online.  He's got a pedigree.  Not Just a son of a son of a son of a son of a bull out of someone's Donor cow we're supposed to know...just because she sold so high $ steers.  Here's what I know about him:
1. Jesse James - Total Solution (Who Made Who) x Blazer [2xWhiplash(2xMeyer)] - Maternal.  And I loved my JJ calves.  He's worked on all types of cows.
2. Dam is a Walks Alone (Heat Wave) x Full Flush - Mass, bone & hair.
3. Grand-dam - WYR Impulse & 2xTotal Play - Foundation Chianina Breeding Stock.
4. 12.806% Chi making heifers, even out of Commercial cows eligible for registration.
5. Double clean allowing me to use him on my dirty Heat Wave cow or my PB Angus cow without worry.
