Any Walks Alone calves out there?

[Bulldaddy]

I will be calving some Walks Alone calves in September.  Has anyone had any this spring.  I am curious about birth weights, soundness, quality.

I haven't seen any calves but judging by not hearing anything this summer I am going to assume he's like Heat Wave and throws some really good ones and misses some.

I breifly talked to a prominent club calf breeder in Texas and he said they lost one that was 120# but the others have all came around 80 to 90#

Saw five calves earlier this summer all at the same place. The one heifer looked thick but a little coarse. The next two steers were OK but nothing special. The last two steers were awfully good. Didn't hear how the birth weights were.

Thanks to all of you for the helpful comments.  I will have my own observation to share in a couple of months.  I guess all it takes are a couple of good ones to make it work.

That can be said about any club calf bull out there, simply insert a different name.

Do you recall what kind of cows the two awfully good steers were out of?

Sorry, but I couldn't tell you. We were in a hurry and didn't have as much time as I would have liked.

Ive seen a really nice heifer out of a Meyer 734 x Full Flush cow. Shane Boysel has a very nice bull calf out of his P89 donor, I know its a donor cow the calf is out of and all but still very  nice lookin bull.

Thanks for the report Vet Tech.  I have one coming out of one of my donors, too.  Glad to hear he got used on some good cows.

Actually, after thinking about it more I can remember that Boysel had some smokey WA calves too. They were all thick though, bulls and heifers. I bred some of my larger framed simmi-angus cows to him and flushed a larger framed smokey cow of mine to WA
