He could produce good to very good steers out of poor to average cows...and they all looked alike...growing up in WI, close to Bobby...The State Fair would have 4 Sugar Ray calves go Grand & Reserve in the Jr. and Open Steer Shows.  As far as their temperament, I wasn't aware of any problems.  I...

Seriously, save it.  We'll need it to breed the sisters to all those midgets we'll be getting by all the fat calf promotional bulls.  They've got no front cannon bones...We'll never revert to the extreme we once were, but some of these soggy frame score 5 cows are not cutting it in my book. 

Imagine Heat Wave without all the pages and pages of promotional bulls we have from Lautner, Trausch, or Wade Rodgers.  People used to breed dumpy Angus and commercial cows to him and he'd throw good ones.  Very consistent. Very hot.  The best bull of his time...ruled the 80's...

I will know in about 3 weeks.  My recently retired show heifer (Heat Wave x Meyer) is due to pop.  I am excited.  And my new "yearling" Angus heifer (8 months right now) will be bred to him this year.  Resulting calf will be 13.72% Chi...and I'll either be breeding the Heat Wave heifer back to...

Corriedalesrock, I didn't want to go right out and say it, but yes, I thought there was a lot more to the Jesse James calf.  I was happy to see that. But I've decided that I will NOT recommend Jesse James to another soul.  That way when he proves to be a good sire, my Jesse James calves will be...

Craig Mittag posted a picture the other day of a couple of calves in the rain.  Ear tags 38 & 40.  If you look close enough you can see the sire's names written on the tags.  The 38 calf is by Jesse James.  The 40 is by Monopoly.  Look at both calves.  Remember they're bunched up in the rain and...

I-80 has moe show success because they really pushed him to everybody They sold 5 times the semen on I-80.  Right now he has 34 reg. animals in the Chianina Association.  I would imagine I-80 has a bunch registered in the AMAA, too.  Jessie James has 2 reg. offspring...When there are 15 times...

Sun Seeker is a nice bull.  And I always look at the % of Chi.  At 20.583% his heifers will all be eligible for ACA Nation shows and sales.  He's also the sire of Babe Ruth, Priceless and Ragin Cajun.  I have heard that Sun Seeker calves usually do great early, will do great as calves...

This isn't your post!  You're "Highjacking" again!  Get a clue!  And do NOT reply!

What I see is a pretty nice calf, by any standard.  A show calf, we'll have to see.  I do like the long, strong top and straight legs.  Appears to be straight in the hocks and hind leg.  Something I appreciate.  Also has some nice bone and has some length to the canon bone.  If they're too short...

This is the start of my new herd after some absence.  Phenotypical, she is my ideal.  Here she's still carrying a little show fat.  She's big, thick, correct, hairy and feminine.  Great temperament where you can do just about anything with her.  She bred and stuck first time.  So I'm guessing...

I like the name "Pearl" as well. Watch for the Jesse James calves this year.  He finally has been used like he should and you're going to see some nice calves by him this year.  To look at him you wouldn't think he's a calving ease bull.  27.44% Chi making his offspring eligible for ACA...

Someone I came across had been to Hawkeye Breeders and looked over Jesse James.  I saw a picture.  Jesse James was thick, clean fronted, and all four feet pointed in the same direction.  Actually was said that to look at him, you wouldn't expect him to be a calving ease sire.  Added bonus is...

I know he was not on your list, and he's old (4 years) but would Dirty Harry 2 (3/4 Maine, calving ease and polled) work.  Only for those heifers that you might not want to use Thriller on.  I know you asked about Thriller being horned.  Plus DH2 has got the shape that ought to give you...

Nice aside.  Sounds like you're having good luck with him.  Next time a PM might be more appropriate.  Obviously, after the last post by Barry Farms, it's not keeping with the thread.  We all know of someone else that highjacks threads and we don't like it.  Let's try to set good examples.  And...
