Great female. What are you wanting to do with her calves? Clubbies

You could go maternal with Simmi or stick with crossbreds for club. Heatwave, Heat SEeker, WMW, Dr. Who, Hannibal would add some size. If you wanted to add a twist you could go with a shorthorn.
Sunseeker has some shoulder but they seem to be popular.

My market is generally for steers , but i sell a few bulls and replacement females . She has a really nice Buckcherry bull calf this year that will most likely be sold as a bull . I'm planning to flush her this fall and thought WMW would work well .. i like the Dr.Who idea too . Thanks for the compliment !

Here is a Sunseeker x 1/2 Limi cow...  He got a little big (#1440 finished), but the cow was a little bigger than the one in your picture.  What is she out of???

Dr.Who usually works well with the limi part. I would stay away from Heatseeker, Heatwave due to the fact on limis they tend to get too round in their hip and shoulders get to big. Plus, with the attitude of the "heatwaves" and SOME limis, I would be cautious with the attitude on attitude.
WMW should work well, although I personally never have used him, I know of several limi folks that have used him with good success.
IF she is on the smaller framed side, you might consider Hannibal.
And for that "wild side", my JPJ babies have far exceeded my expectations and I haven't gotten a bad one yet!

She is a nice cow....my personal opinion is I would never flush a cow to something I haven't bred her to first. Why take a chance on rolling the dice? Breed her to what you want to flush her to and see what happens!! Good luck
