Not wanting to barge on either, but I was thinking about the same thing when rinsing my steer today. The last day of March he was weighing 1100 lbs, and the show is the first week of August. He's a big framed steer and still looks good to me. If I wanted to change anything it would be deepening...

What kind of cows are you breeding him to? I'm using him on my larger framed sim/angus 4th calver that has some power to her??

I'm using Grandmaster for one of my 2nd calvers. I've read on here that he's consistant, low BW's, and adds muscle.

Well I've decided to go with BIM. For a simmy heifer I'm going to use SAV Brilliance, and for a mainly angus but with some simmy 2nd calver I'm going to use Grandmaster. Thanks for all of the advice! Wish me luck as I experience AI. If any of you have advice as far as heat checking methods...

Ok I will look into One and Only b/c she's had a history of hard pulls/large calves. Thankfully this one was unassisted. Do you think that One and Only calves are marketable at $1500?

Well her 3rd calf was born last night and was unassisted!  (clapping) I probably won't weigh the calf but she seemed decent sized. Not too big and not too small. Thinking along the lines of AI-ing this cow to Walks Alone bc the Monopoly 2 price has doubled.

Dknupp- thanks for the suggestion! I really like the Monopoly 2 clone so I'm thinking about using him. The calves are marketable, and that is my prime goal with this calf. However, I'm worried that the monopoly 2 calf would be too big for her to handle. Her first calf as a heifer was too big and...

Thanks OH breeder! I will have to look into using the Who 2 or possibly the monopoly 2 (semen of monopoly too high for me)? What would you recommend? Or possibly Monopoly Money, Walks alone? There are just sooo many bulls out there to choose from. My plan  is to AI three cows. A heifer to...

Thanks! Still looking into using WMW 2 and maybe Doctor Who??

Thanks for the advice. If I breed her to the Who Made Who clone, do you think the calf would be sellable? Or would I be wasting my time? Some suggest Monoply Money or a Monopoly clone??? Or would she likely have trouble having a calf from them?

Why Believe in Me?

Ok thanks! I definitely don't want any more calving trouble. I will look into maybe using the who made who clone or I-80. There's not much about the clone but it seems like a lot like I-80. And it seems like the calves are selling as well. Will look into him more.

If I bred her to the Who Made Who Clone, do you think the calf would be good and sellable? That is probably my primary goal is to sell the calf and if she has a good heifer maybe keep the heifer for a replacement.

Thanks Sizzler! I will look into him! Just looking for a bull that will match this cow the best!

I have a sim/angus female who will be having her 3rd calf in a few days! This June/July I'm going to AI her to a clubby bull. I haven't decided which bull I'm going to use yet. I was thinking Walks Alone?? Her first calf as a heifer died because the calf was too big and we couldn't get him out...

I really like your calves! I'm thinking on breeding WA to my sim/angus cow. She's big framed/big boned/thick but lacks the body depth and flank. Do you think WA could help with that? And what would you saw on the CE of WA?

What would you say Monopoly Money works best on? I have a sim/angus cow that is going to have her 3rd calf soon. I am then going to AI her for the first time this june/july. She is very stout/big bone/and thick. But she lacks depth and flank. Would Monopoly Money work better than Walks Alone on...

I totally agree, I don't think I will be using Eye Candy because of the semen price. I was really looking forward to breeding him with my large simm/angus cow. I might be leaning towards I-80 now. I've read posts on here and almost all have been positive.

I was wanting to use him on our biggest most powerful cow... until I saw the price of semen for $50 on bull barn. But on on other semen selling companies I still say him listed as $25??

I am doing AI for the first time as well, but only on 2 cows and a heifer. I'm looking at Brilliance for the heifer, Grandmaster for a 2nd calver, and Eye Candy on the 4th calver. I've heard that Eye Candy throws some good ones.
