I am looking for opinions on calving ease bulls to use. Of course I want it all, good looks, growth and carcass numbers. After looking at the catalogs I am beginning to think that is not possible! Most of the OCC bulls are nice, calving ease, but have no carcass or beef value.  But am wondering about OCC Legend, Raptor, other angus? Would consider clubbie bulls IF proven calving ease, and TH/PHA clean. Used Ali and Lut this year with mixed results. Am looking to produce marketable steers, and replacement heifers. My cow herd is angus and angusXgelv with an exception or two thrown in!
Thanks everyone! :)

Have you looked at Majors Money Man? "Justme" has used a son from him w/ good results. Love the clean fronts on the heifers. Great BW numbers & clean.

Show Hef- Hard Core would be another choice on fairly good BW's & nice marketable calves. also meets your requirements of being clean both ways.
Teol's bull Triple X is a son of him. Don't think there is any calves on the ground yet though. also clean.
A lot of people swear by Who Made Who calves. I've never been a huge fan. Too many feet & leg issues for me. Good BW's though & also clean.
