    Bull Talk

    interestingly i have used Unbelievable as well and would say their general build is very similar with Afterhours calves having more power.  Afterhours has been used fairly heavily in my local area but has been pretty limited on a national basis.  Brandon Bird had his first set in TX last fall...

    Breeding Thoughts ...

    I really think Afterhours (IW x Dr WHo/Imprint) would work wonders on the Monopoly cow.  He will improve structure, and give you unbelievable udder quality in his daughters.  I think i would lean toward simmi on the IW cow.  a blaze faced Broker daughter would be awful cool on her.

    U Need Me

    We are using him this year.  Flushing a PB angus Lut daughter and AIing to several cows.  the bull is extremely good looking while maintaining Width and center body.  I especially like his hip structure and leg set.  He is 14% Chi which will generate enough Chi to play in the national circuit. ...

    Discussion: Who is the best Calving Ease bull?

    we have used Bush's Unbelievable with great success and i would say he fits your criteria to a T.  he is however,  a Bismark son, so if you are breeding Bismark daughters you might need to look elsewhere.

    Clubby bulls on plain jane or even not so good cows.

    it sounds to me like this guy just wants some respectable calves for his kids to show. Muscle and look would be priority.  if he wants to raise FT Worth champs he is probably peeing in the wind.  if 1st scenario is correct.  pick the freak and breed on.  i would venture to guess that 80% of the...

    Selling animals with a right to flush

    does anyone have any experience with somebody actually exercising their "right " to a future flush?  Seems to me the wording of buyer's convenience is pretty tricky.  I don't know that it would ever be convenient for me to take a cow out of production or my own flush schedule for someone else to...

    Really good bull with an exceptional pedigree. Huge foot and extremely sound. I was in the picture pen when that photo was taken. Great necked for an aged bull with plenty of power and middle.
