she is a draft pick x angus. i want to flush her for females or both females and bulls.  She needs a clean fronted bull with bone. Here is a picture.

With her body and thickness from the picture she looks like a great candidate for Who ( the ol man himself). Hannibal would also work on her due to her depth of rib and body. From what I saw of the My Turn calves that wouldn't be a bad option but we don't know what his females are gonna do as he is new to the game. My Turn sure made them pretty. 3C Macho would also give you some excellent maternal females and wouldn't carry the expense of his father 734. After again looking at Collings catalog Carney Man for females as well. If you wanted to stay high percentage Angus- Northern Improvement , SS Traveler, or OCC Legend would all give you both marketable females and steer calves. She look like she has endless posibilities. I also wouldn't mind seeing what Sin City or Vegas would do on her, but I am a shorty person at heart. Nice old gal you got.

Heatwave.  You can sell an average heatwave just as easy as a real good one out of some of these other bulls. Can't believe more people don't use heatwave or the clones more.  Proof is in the pudding.

Heatwave isn't a good option if you're looking for females.  Have to agree with OH B's choices, although I wouldn't go back Angus on her.  We have some beautiful females out of Vegas and they have been really good cows, that might be a good option if you don't mind testing the calves.

I would use either 3C Macho or Who Made Who for females.  I have been disappointed with the sherriff Taylor calves I have seen so far and Heat Wave in a terminal sire for sure;.

Didn't see the emphasis on breeding for females when I first posted.  I would agree with WMW or maybe Doctor Who.
