Thabks for all the imput everyone! I guess that im now debating between Irish Whiskey, 734, and Milkman. And we didn't raise the cow so we have only had her for a couple of years...but every year she has gotten bred to our herd bull. Which has been a different bull every year. And flushed last year and we decided to hold her over till next breeding season so she wouldn't have a late calf. But what about the 3 bulls I narrowed it down to?

Well I would like to thank all of you have commented! You have all been a great help in my decision and I would not get this great of a response and this great of an opinion then from the Steer Planet family! Thanks everyone! However I have eliminated milkman from my list and am down to 734 and Irish Whiskey. Im leaning towards 734 at the moment and will take some convincing for me to change it ;). So any last thoughts on the two bulls and which one would create the best calves, females actually. Thanks again!

Just  talking to people my choice would be My  Turn  unless you were going for females an as good as she is I  can see why. Are you going to keep the eggs , if so I would put one unit of 734 an then a couple of My Turn ,an shot both way's. Just a thought . Jamie   There sure has been some good looking IW around ----------.
Yes we plan on keeping the eggs, unless someone would like to purchase some

Glad to see you're using Meyer. If you've got it use it. Since you've got meyer he gets my vote, but if you didnt Who Made Who would definitely be next in line with Irish Whiskey after that. Hope your flush goes good!!!!

Definitely 734 for females.  The 734 x Maine females will beat the 734 x Angus females any day of the week.  For steers, I'm going to suggest one noboby else has, that I read anyway; Smooth Sailing.

I would have sold the 734 and bought DJ Salute to use.

i believe your around canton, when you get these calves from 734, assuming you get some, and you might want to sell, you need to call me  8) 8)
