She is a P.B. Dream On (Nicole's legacy MGD) with a lot of bone and hair.  Her frame size is about right for me, but better her calves have a tick more frame than less if any change.  My primary goal is to produce high quality and clean heifers from her that would be suited for clubby calf production.  I'll be breeding her for a second calf.  I've considered several Angus bulls (N. Improvement, Style, Duff New Edition or Baseline), Maine (I80, Dirty Harry), and some composite bulls (Shiver, WMW, Simple Math, Dr. Who, Copyright).

I need to place my semen order soon and am stuck on this one.

I was very impressed with our Copyright heifer calf and also the heifers going in their sale look great that only bull you named I have experience with. Although I am a big fan of Dr. Who. Just my two cents worth.

Simple math is pretty small i have heard
copyright looked like an angus bull you could find at the sale barn when i seen him at stud
I have really liked our Outer limits calves but i like your angus ideas as well, might try BC Eagle eye our calves out of him are super stout

Correct me if I am wrong from the picture she looks little flatter made. Does she has enough rib shape? Two bulls to definitely consider from an Angus perspsective for Clubbie production is Occ LEgend and SS Traveler 6807 of T510. Neither will add any height but will give you deep bodied easy fleshing and performing females. Both will add rib shape and dimension. JMO

I like her!    I raise Simmi's and have two Dream On daughters...and LOVE them!  If I were going to breed her for clubbie's....I would breed to WMW or Dr Who, with WMW as the top preference.  He is great for making great momma's..!
