this heifer is th and pha free she has been tested

 

[wyatt]

wondering if irish whiskey 734 or chill factor would work on her??

I like to recommend Angus bulls for first calf heifers.

she is not a first calver this is just a picture of her as a heifer

What have you gotten out of her and what did the calves look like- maternal or terminal.
If they looked maternal- all though unproven- I'd definitly suggest Hard Whiskey.  Some other good ones would be I-80 or Troubadour.  Can't go wrong with Troubadour either way.

If the first calf (or two, three?) looked more terminal, Walks Alone would most likely click well with her.  A Bojo or Thriller would throw a pretty nice steer or market heifer that you could keep back to breed.  All about personal preference but those 5 or 6 would be the best options on my opinion.

hard whiskey is unproven but i do like him allot her calf this spring is her first its out of a lut son

Wow, what a heifer that is good and uniquely bred. Not to be the old stick in the mud, but she goes back to Flush and Buck in her extended pedigree. Both had some bw issues and breeding Flush to Buck's (two doses of Buck) tended to amplify this. Her sire being an Ali takes the Easy button out..breed her to an Ali son for second calf. As nice as she is, still really consider a moderate calver for her second calf whatever you do. She has some real power in her blood and on the hoof. I can't make an intelligent recommendation without seeing her, but please hit the home run at a receipt cow's expense... (angel)

In our area we have been seeing a decreased demand for higher % Ma cattle, unless you are wanting a higher % Maine, I would take that into consideration when choosing a bull for her.

 

[hntwhitetail]

You could throw Tiger Woods or Dr Who on her.

 

[simmyman67]

I second Tiger Woods

 

[WJ Farms]

Are you trying to raise maine calves out of her or club calves or what are you trying to do with her??

 

[jbzdad]

I think WJ has it right... are you trying to breed a MA show heifer or raise club calves?... what % maine is she ... what does she weigh ? does she need size or shrunk?

she really has a great look but so does that lowline bull on the banner add

might be better if you get some more recent pics

MY TURN

 

[wyatt]

i want to flush her both clubby and maternal

 

[jbzdad]

clubby ... Milkman

Maternal... hard whisky... what percent maine will this give?.. I think Hard whisky will add some grow  should preserve clean neck  ... if 3/4 or more should be kinda interesting... by the way does she walk well?

 

[jbzdad]

on the Hard Whiskey thread there are pics of his Dam and flushmate... hard to argue with those.... another recent thought would be rumor mill ..more whisky blood.. 5/8..

 

[wyatt]

She walks great and hard whiskey would be a good choice I think she is about 45%maine anjou also considering carney man

She walks great and hard whiskey would be a good choice I think she is about 45%maine anjou also considering carney man/// good choice,although hes unproven hes got two of the great cows there are-Harrietta and Foxie Moxie, I like Incredible Hulk,I also like Lifeline for maternal-and growth,and quality, O0
