    PB Charolais- What to flush this cow to?

    I'm leaning more towards LT Ledger, it seems like his name pops up a lot when talking about Charolais, I also looked up M6 New Standard and liked him just not as we'll as Ledger. I also some day planned on buying some other PB cows that already have good numbers so I can start off on the right...

    Heat Wave's Dam

    I seen on executive sires blog that Heat Waves dam was recently flushed which obviously means she's alive and well, I'm assuming she would have to be around 16 years old since Heat Wave was a 2000 model. Just wondering if anyone has a picture of her or thoughts on the fact that a 16 year old...

    FIREWATER

    I really liked this bull so I tried him on a few cows, these were old PB char cows. The first had a small 80lb heifer and the second one had a 135lb bull calf. So I guess thats a pretty big leap even if it is only on two head to compare, Im a little hesitant on using him again. To the other...
