I sure like pacesetter calves, he adds tons of bone. But, if you want more muscle and have enough gut I would use Macho. Make sure she has a good front end though.  Our Macho half blood (quarter Angus and quarter Maine) did real good last year, but she did lack femininity that many judges like. I have been told they make good cows, we won't know until the fall when she calves. 

bred our 10 best cows to grandmaster sexed semen

Trademark or Rendition (son of Trademark).  Rendition is a baldy too. 

rendition has always caught my eye

We have done very welll with Trademark.  Both his bull and heifer calves are valuable.  We have sold seveal as show heifers and they have done well.  Also, the Trademark cows in production have nice udders and adequate milk.

Has anyone seen any Fat Butt calves?  Are there any out there yet?   

I saw about 20 out of straight simmi and simangus cows.  Many out of first calf heifers.  Nice calves and very clean fronted for a full simi bull.  I understand they calved easy.  I have 10 units to play and 10 of Backlash now it the great debate of which cow gets which.  :
