Does anyone have any that have had calves?  Wondering what you think of them.  Also what structural issues do you need to watch for?

I think you're right Mark.  Pretty sure that pic was on a post about Jesse James.

She is a smaller framed calf.  I was hoping to use a heifer safe bull that would add some size so it sounds like Comfort Zone may fit the bill.  One thing about the JJ heifer that I love is her disposition.  She would have been great for a first time showman(she was born one day late for our...

Thanks to you both for the info.  I plan to use him next breeding season on a few cows.  How do you think he would work on a Jesse James heifer?

I would love to hear about your calves out of him.  What size did they come, did he add or reduce frame, what do you like or dislike about them.  Give me the good and the bad.  Pics would be great!  Thanks for your time!

Thank you!  I plan on breeding him to a heifer and one of my more moderate cows just can't afford to bring the frame down on either one.

What does he do for frame size?  I have a couple I would like to use him on but they are both moderate.  Wouldn't hurt if he increased frame a little on the one.  I did a search but didn't find anything about frame size on him.

We are just getting started in showing.  Just wondering who makes a good set of clippers and what you all recommend?  We will probably be clipping 2-3 calves per year.  So it's not like we will be doing a barn full or anything.  Just what my kids show at the fair each year.

I wish I could help you.  But I am pretty new to this world my self.  I searched and as you said didn't find an answer to your specific question.  I hope someone helps you out. 

Simm-Ebonys Grandmaster should give you length and middle.  May not add enough frame though.  I don't know what frame score you are looking to get.  I also like the Upgrades I have seen. 

Mark- I think the angus comment is sarcasm?  It just seems anything that shows Char color gets knocked automatically around here.  I do appreciate all the suggestions.  Feel free to keep em coming.

I have thought about ordering a dvd on AI.  It is 100.00.  Just wondering if anyone has seen it and if it is in your opinion worth the money.  Would love to go to the schooling but it just is not in the schedule for me anytime soon.

Unfortunately, at our county fair the boring black usually rules.  I am in West Virginia.

I am looking for a bull to produce steers.  I have a 1/2 simm 1/2 angus cow.  She is long spined, big square hip,  adequate bone, could use a little more rib shape, and a deeper flank, also she has that simmi brisket so if I could clean that up a little it would be nice.  Don't want to reduce...

Thanks for the reply.  I talked to a nutritionist at Kalmbach and they also recommended the guts and glory if she needed any added middle closer to show.

Anyone have experience with this feed?  We have used their show lamb feed the last few years and love it.  Going to try it on my daughters heifer this year.  I know they are a regional company so a lot of people probably don't even know what it is.

I have a Jesse James heifer I will be breeding next year and while I know it is early I have been trying to come up with a plan.  Right now I am leaning towards Moto Moto or a low birthweight Maine.  The calf would hopefully be used either as a replacement heifer or shown as a market steer at...

Just had a 62lb. Jesse James heifer out of a half blood simmi heifer I purchased in January.  I have heard many good things about him for calving ease.  This is my first experience with him but I am pleased.  This heifer showed no visible signs of labor at 9:30.  When I checked her at 11:30 the...

I am kinda hoping for a heifer calf out of him myself.  If it is a bull my oldest daughter will probably show it at next years county fair.

I don't have a lot of experience myself with clubby bulls.  But A guy we have bought a few cattle from AI's all his heifers to Jesse James then turns them out with a Bismarck son for cleanup.  I have a half blood simmi heifer due to Jesse James 3-4-15 but this will be my first calf out of him. ...
