I have this heifer. I had one straw of Sunseeker left and one straw of I Am Legend. The cow is a Mossy Oak/ commercial angus. She is moderate build and smaller boned clean made lots of rib. The heifer is like a block, definitely a market heifer candidate. She is stout with lots of bone and hair. Jet black. Mom is black. She has a small head little triangular. I do not have any experience with either these bulls. Last year bred the cow to Heat Wave 6 and got a heifer about 110#s real square. I know its hard to tell from the pic, I know I will have to DNA and TH/PH test. BUT thought I would like some SP guess's. The calf is only a few hours old in pic.

SO

I Am Legend

or

Sunseeker

Sunseeker

so are you wanting to breed the calf, or the mother? 

Won't matter to me which you use.. each is equally as predictable in my book.

I think he stuck the mamma with both bulls and is wondering what we think the calf is out of just for fun and curiosity until he sends the dna off.

Reread it.. and I think you are right. 

I don't know that I wuold invest the money into verifying parentage on something that is destined to be a market heifer, that they are gearing towards spending...  not in today's economy

You are correct. I do not have any experience with either bull mentioned. So, this little gal has got me stumped. She has that "Heat Wave" hair so that lends support to I Am Legend. Will see.
