I have 5 Maine cows for sale. Just wondering what bull to breed them to for best sale value. Thinking about Dirty Harry  or Hard Core.

might consider hard drive....if they are smaller framed Calberta black impact, G. Joe, any of these seem popular should at least be familiar to buyers

These are BIG girls if I'm correct.  I think that Joe would be dandy, or Dirty Harry.  Hairy Bear seems to be making some good calves too.

Seems like everyone knows who GIGOLO JOE is,i think that would make it easier to sell cows to a known calving ease bull,in my opinion people will pay more if they know there not getting into a train wreck.

  I guess I think that if you have in the tank what Cathy had them mated to last year, you couldn't go too wrong. She would have put a lot of thought into those matings. Hope you all are doing OK. We all really miss Cathy here on the board. It's not the same here without her and I am sure you are struggling with her being gone too soon as well. Think of her daily here. Sincerely, Brent, A.K.A.

I would breed them to Money Man, Joe, Hard Core, and Gizmo, Cathy said that her calf crop this year was the best its been in awhile, so might as well breed them back the same way, All of those bulls are popular right now.
