Breeding Suggestions PLEASE!!!

[SKF]

Here's three cows that we want to AI this year and we are looking for any suggestions. Thank you!!

The black cow (1st pic) is a Heatseeker x angus. She just had her third calf last week, she is sound on her feet, thick and had lots of hair during her show days now only during the winter. She could use some more frame and she has not been TH tested so it has to be THF.

The Shorthorn cross this will be her 3rd calf. She is TH and PHA free her pedigree goes back to trump.

The third cow is my son's very first heifer she is a braunvieh and is not the prettiest cow. He has always wanted to AI her but I have no idea what to use on her. She is going on nine. She has the biggest feet I have ever seen on a cow and a very large head. She needs something that can hopefully add some style?

How 'bout these:

Heatseeker cow : Dr. Who or Pale Face. I can't tell from the picture if she is deep enough or bold sprung enough for Hannibal.

Shorthorn cow : Looks to me like she needs a carrier, but out side of that how about either Perfect Timing, (see Olsons here), or Radio Active?

And I don't know if they class steers in FL by their appearance, but the last cow looks like she'd make some American crosses. If she is sall enough, Hannibal would help clean her up.

Perfect Timing has worked great again this year on our ShorthornPlus cows.  We have a 3/4 Shorthorn baby heifer, and a 7/8 baby heifer.  They are really stout, have a ton of hair, good bone, and are pretty hard to fault.  I have a picture of the 3/4 blood if you would like to see her.

Cow 1  Who Made Who would work, I am not sure what you are shooting for but I had a really cool Calberta Black Impact heifer out of a WMW x Heatseeker dam. I used Pale Face this year and did not get a ton of thickness out of the calf. He is pretty and correct but will be a correct and attractive profiling steer verses a meat wagon.

Cow 2 Double Vision if you are shooting terminal calves. He will add some bone and hair. Stouten her up a bit. Solid Gold and Radioactive would also be good choices. Solid Gold clean and Radioactive PHC.
Cow 3 Who Made Who or Hannibal would work to clean the front up. SIn City would also add some size and clean her front up.

Can you please post a picture of the Perfect Timing heifer?

 

[shortyjock89]

Yep.  Not a great pic, but you can see what she looks like. She was born the second week of April and this picture was taken last week.

Isn't that a Perfect Timing heifer in your avatar?

 

[shortyjock89]

Yep, she's the first one we ever had.  That little black and white heifer is a 3/4 sib to her (their momma's are maternal sibs).

Your braunvieh may surprise you if you AI her "clubby".  I have a couple of friends who raise and show Braunviehs a little bit and they have crossed them up and gotten some pretty darn good calves out of them!  I don't breed to enough club stuff to tell you what to use on her, but I would suggest a good solid 2 or 3 way cross bull.  I wouldn't try to get anything too freakey.  I know she has a little leather, but it really doesn't take too much to get that out of them.  It is harder to get the leather out when it is on the bull side.

good luck!

Hope to see some pics of calves next spring
