Is there one out there to do both to a moderate framed cow to add/and or keep depth?

Or should i continue just putting clubby bulls on 1800# large frame cows?

Thanks

I only had 2 specimens this year (a bull and a hfr calf), but fu man chu added a touch of frame to both of the cows I used him on. Also kept a good bit of depth to both calves. Also added a nice leg set and foot size to both calves. Only knock was that the bone size was a little under my expectations but as a whole they were nice calves. I'll use him again probably.

I have a monopoly x irish whiskey that I would like to take the frame up a notch.  I have seen some good fire waters out of mono cows, and didnt know if he would increase the frame a little.  She is out of a big irish whiskey from griswolds.

I have her bred to a hard whiskey x miss usa bull that I own hoping for a nice baldy.

One and Only seems to work on little cows.  Doesn't really seem to add any power or take anything away either.  Yellow Jacket might not add much middle.

Salty Dog has done the best job adding frame for us, far more then Mono $ on the same female. But since your heifer is a Monopoly you are semi limited. How about Comfort Zone. He added frame, foot size, style. Make a 1/2 maine too.

I hear Hard Whiskey on Mono females works good.... I hope we flushed a Mono/Meyer/Ice pick cow to him!

I would say no, there is not one....keep breeding and selecting.  On bigger cows that need rib use Monopoly and Unstopable,(need to be good fronted)
