I have a larger framed older Rodeo Drive female and want to flush her maybe to Double Trouble.  DT is PHA but was Rodeo Drive clean?  Will Double Trouble downsize or am I using the wrong bull.  Want to raise club calves and good replacements.  thanks

Rodeo is fine-Double Trouble has alot of old blood-and doesnt really downsize-but some of them are real good. I might suggest ALM Sabotage-hes clean-and sired by D-Trouble-with a bunch more KABA on his dams side-which works with rodeo-or any number of bulls-The new vision-man-o-war bull at Stepping Stone Genetics to your left,Perfect Timing,Free For All,Jazz Man,Tobasco (see cattle .com-2011 Denver Videos)Lautners new Proud JazzxMaine,Lautners solid gold (shorthorn) GB Daybreak Express-(enticer by way of Byland Dazzler-0 BW-GREAT BULL) Enticer Rodeo allways worked well,Rumor Has It,Man O War (clean Warhorse-x Houston dam Houston who was a Leader 18 son.-Stouts had ALOT of good Rodeos out of  Houston daughters,Man O Wars bulls dam also had a champ Shorthorn steer at Dallas-Ft Worth (I think) ETC Etc. O0

Rodeo Drive was clean for both TH and PHA. Double Trouble will downsize and he will make them thick.He was a smaller framed bull himself.  There isn't much Double Trouble semen around as he died very young. I sold a Double Trouble heifer to Buchholz in Texas a few years ago out of a Rodeo grand daughter that did a bunch of winning down in the US . I think this could be a good cross. Here is a picture of the Buchholz heifer when she won San Antonio.

Houston is a bull that I'd probably use if I had semen.  Same with Stout's old Kenmar President 26A.  Between Double Stuff and his sons Double Vision, Double Down, and Double Trouble, I liked my Double Troubles the best.  They can be spotted up, but anybody that visits notices I don't really select for solid reds anyway.  If they're good, I like 'em regardless of color.

I saw the Secret Maid/ Double Trouble female at the Junior Nationals when it was in Springfield Ohio that year and she was a fantastic female, she won her division and was a definite contender in the final drive.

I think that may be the only Double trouble I have ever seen though?
