    HooDoo Bulls

    You say you want Clubby type cattle, Does that mean Geek Necked, big Hipped, super stout and big bellied.  Cuz thats what you will get with Firewater.  I have used some Hoo Doo bulls in the past, and have a good friend of mine in SD that has a HooDoo bull, and milk can be an issue in the...

    once a day vs. am/pm

    We tried it a couple years, conception rates were down 10-15%.  I went to a heatwatch system, and started breeding 24 hours a day.  Makes for some long days and nights, but last year we had a 90% conception rate.  We avg. 75-80 before we started heatwatch and 24 hour breeding.

    Uncle Kracker, Felony, and Captain Morgan??

    I have used Madrid, and it was a calving nightmare, but I used Kojack last year, Felony's sire, and had great luck, would call him easy calving actually.  Calves grew nice, but were different than I thought they would be.  They were Flatter made, and super cool lookin.  Sold the heifers like...

    Charolais bulls

    I would think Firewater, or Montezuma would do that for you.  Both bulls will powerup cows, montezuma will add a frame score more than firewater if you want them bigger.  Something else to think about, I just purchased the american rights on a canadian bull that will put some power in a set of...

    Charolais bulls

    I would not worry at all about a 2nd calver with firewater at all.  But really what do you want out of your calf, do you want a show heifer, or do you wanna make a Low birth cleanup bull.    Need more info on what you want to get done before I can really say that he is the bull for you
