I have a purebred,  bred heifer that is suppose to calve the middle of march. she has a good bone and a medium frame but super stout. Im lookin at keeping her purebred angus and was looking at using Pure Product on him, am kind of afraid that he might put too much power into his calves by the way he looks. I am looking to get heifers out of her and am wondering what you think a good bull would be to AI her too to get purebred heifers?

Not a lot of data out there on these two bulls, but the calves should remain moderate and stout.
Limestone Great Divide
Limestone Darkhorse

Northern Improvement sounds good as does Lut or Lutton.

Have seen calves out of them and they are solid females.

Good luck!

I have had good luck with using a older bull TC Freedom 104. Got a couple of real nice heifers and a really nice steer calf out of him.

My Select Sires rep told me that last year Great Divide sold alot more than they expected and this year all the same guys are buying him again for his ability to sire thickness and muscle. On the video it looks like he moves really well too. But if it's Pure Product you're looking at, I talked to Melvin Musgrave at the Connealy sale this year and they are excited about his calves. He goes back to Traveler, Bando, Alliance, Deep Canyon, and Final Product so I think he would give a good shot of maternal and a classy look.
