irish whiskey, who made who, meyer 734 (sons or himself), friction,  ali or maybe heatseeker. Now if your asking for steers its more along the lines of walks alone, heatwave  :-\, alias (on purebred angus cows), dejavu, and whiskey 7.

That depends on what breed you are wanting to go after, if you are after composite (club calf) type cows. Then you need to start with some good mothers, that is where the meyer 734 and WMW (who made who) come in to get your good club calf mothers. Then from there to get good show steers, I would use HW (Heat Wave) genetics where you use walks alone, monopoly or HW clone you get the picture. Other genetics I like are Ali, Ali2, rocky balboa or plenty of others out there from him. Then as my 3rd I would use Irish Whisky genetics where it be him or Paddy O or a different one, there are plenty out there from him too. Between them 5 genetics you should get some good club calf momas and start getting some good steers out of them.

I agree with most of the bulls mentioned. If it where me id throw in a Dream on son or DO himself.  If you are like me you have a handfull of "average" cows in your herd that they will work good on and not get a "junker".  Im a huge fan of the 734 line to get a cow base started but you need some softer style of females to start if you go that route.

I was just looking into the club calf industry. mix and match angus/maine/chi and also a little horn genetics together to get club calves. the 5 bulls i was looking into is total solution for calving ease, DH2 for calving ease/club calf maine genetics, JPJ for horn genentics/calving ease, and then HW genetics- smooth sailing, walks alone, point taken, and maybe throw in My turn also
