THINKING OF GETTING HER BRED TO AN ANGUS BULL ASAP AFTER JANUARY 2022 THEN IVF HER TO A MAINE BULL THAT I WANT MATING ON
https://maine-anjou.digitalbeef.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=_animal&file=_animal&animal_registration=1406
AND MAYBE PRIMO OR SIMILAR ANGUS BULL AT THE SAME TIME.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

The Primo cross sounds interesting and he's about as proven as it gets anymore. Toe length on a shallow heel bothers me a little with him, but her foot structure looks like she'd be able to handle it. Blacklist had a lot of fans and is affordable in sexed heifer semen. He has worked on a couple Shorthorn cows who looked similar to her at her age.
If I wanted to try to make some new "shorthorn" cows, I'd probably try something like Muridale Jaxson or Muridale Robert. One is Buster over Bonanza and the other is Bonanza over Buster's cow line. Both have put exceptional rib length onto cows who needed it.
If I wanted to do something fun, I might try the new bull Wade Rogers bought from Farrer called Written in Red.

No, I meant to IVF with after she's bred. I wouldn't breed a heifer to any of the above and definitely not an old pedigree FB Maine heifer.

One of the better breeding bulls I know of for just out breeding himself was Diamond Legs Id heifer plus that good maine heiferor anything like her in a minute using him.And I plan to flush the 6 month old heifer pictured just weaned to him (heifer plus) when the time comes. The Stinger heifer (sib to bull calf) in the weaning pen and her going on 14 year old dam go to Comptons How Its Done-who weighed a llegit 65 pounds and really is impressive all around I hauled him to Nichols about a month ago-Considering how hes been worked he looked really good.The picture of him is at Ohio Beef expo at less than a year The cow is pictured 4 weeks or so ago when the grass ran out O0

Stinger the SDR Monument son-who worked better on Shorthorns than any other fulblood from what I saw over the years and BACK THEN. The cow a Proud Jazz x Impact Shakerx Seven T s John female-pictured above at 13.5 years of age. Continous Low bw cow family back to 1991-When I bought Deertrail Countess. Breeding before your time-even tho she was a g daughter of Dollar 2 and born in 1986 or so.. So what if Stinger is PHA. So are alot of cattle.So are alot of really good clean ones bred out of carriers .He may be clean If not-we may use him on a few clean ones. They are our cattle-not yours. Hes not going to breed anything anytime soon being 6 months and change old and just weaned.-Pull hair and see. Same with his sister O0

HEY DOC SUN--Above is the old JAZZ cow and her Stingers According TO PEOPLE WHO KNOW-The bull calf is the soundest Stinger anybody has seen-For better or worse. Neither ET calf was over 85 pounds-WHICH OF YOUR BULLS WILL WORK ? NEED DECENT BW A BUTT-AND GROW-I think you have THE BEST FULL BLOODS FOR MY TYPES THERE ARE.-(HER FAMILY IS 0 BW OR CLOSE EVERY FEMALE BACK TO 1987) and along with Jazz (Never saw a Leader 21xMaine other than hers so far ) The cows dam was old Oklahomaxold full blood, (4S Impact Shakerx Seven Ts John( who was sired by a part Maine bull from JIT) then on back to dollar TWO.
