We have several moderate framed Sim-angus cattle that would be 2nd and 3rd calves. We are looking to breed all club calf with a little more bone and style as well as with up and coming bulls. We will be buying a few of the original Monopoly but would like some other suggestions as well.

He didnt say he was looking to moderate his cattle he said he had moderate cattle, I would suggest Monopoly money or Walkie Talkie so that you can have some more frame and be more competitive in the shows.

A lot of people will not like this but here it goes. After thinkin about it my suggestion would be alias or one and only. Your females will be clean and should have some value. (one and onlys dam is super) the alias would add some hybrid vigor and cross better with the who and the Charolais present. Neither one of these bulls are very popular comparative to some others that will be listed but when breeding herds instead of select cows you need to look at the broad scale of what to do with your overall calf crop. If you can consistently put 10% of your crop in the show ring (to be competitive) consider yourself good at what you do. The rest should be replacements, market calfs, or you will most likely have to work your tail off to get them sold. Goodluck with whatever you choose but before you start breeding to the most popular look at what might have the most potential for you. Then selectively breed certain cows to certain bulls.
