what is the best heifer bull to use?? i have a heat wave heifer and a purebred angus that i am going to be breeding soon. what are your opinions. wanting hairy bulls but anything will work.
 
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.  Sorry I couldn't be more help but you should get some better feedback on here from some of the more experienced people.
 
Funny.  I have had two Jesse James calves over the past two years out of first calf heifers.  One out of a big Heat Wave show heifer First pic) and the other out of a PB Angus (second).  They both came out perfectly (72 lb. and 75 lb.).  Vigorous.  Quick to eat, easy doing, hair, gentle with great personalities.  And I think they both look pretty good, too.  Both winners in the show ring as well.  Jesse James will also make great heifers (cows) when done showing.

Moto Moto- 72 BW average.  Calves come easy, will become thick made and stout with hair and bone.  Wait 2 weeks after they are born.  You will say WOW.
Complete outcross.  Daughters will be great cows.
 
We had our first Comfort Zone bull calf last night. His mom was a monopoly. Calf was up pretty quick moving around. Weighed right around 70 lbs.

Safe to say, I plan to use him again
 
I vote for Moto Moto as default heifer bull for show folks.
This is not a Moto daughter, but its a Galloway cross to give you an idea what to expect in terms of hair. It's always like that if Galloway is in the mix and Galloways are notorious for quick born lively calves. They have the right shaped head, I guess.

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.

Total Solution?

If you can find him.  Semen is not easy to get.  And I'm not sure about his clone.  With Jesse James you get Total Solution along with 2 shots of Whiplash (thus 2 shots of Meyer) from his maternal side.
 
Total solution clone. Calving them out now there nice looking easy calving.
