Mark we used the Char bull MTLS Lead On (Troubador's sire) on heifers and had good luck!

Is your Monopoly free? or did you have her tested?

I have used Crimson Tide on heifers with good results.  One out of a solid black Monopoly heifer was marked like a shorthorn and really stout with lots of hair.

I had my Monopoly heifer tested for TH and she is a carrier.  Crimson Tide is not a TH carrier but a PHA carrier.  I also have a couple of Crimson Tide calves out of Walks Alone heifers and they are pretty good.  The only Crimson Tide that is not very good is out of a Who Made Who heifer that is not a carrier.

I had heard that there was a misprint and he was a TH carrier.  I guess that turned out to be false rumor.  Glad you had good luck with him.  I tried to AI a Shortie to him but she didn't settle.  May try him again.
