I would like yalls input on what bull I should AI my cows to.  My cows finished calving about 45 days ago with their first calf.  They are a nice set of black baldies.  I was wanting to breed them to a club calf type bull.  I would like a bull that will produce some good club calf producing females later on down the rode.  I have a few in mind...YellowJacket & Dr. Who, to name a couple.  Any ideas.  Thanks

I had some Yellow Jacket calves this year out of Angus cows an had no problems at all calving them, but I had heard of trouble  with big calves by him out of some crossed up cows ,suppose there is just a little more power out of some of those cows ....

Yellow jacket is a good choice just keep him on better fronted females. I have had some great heifers the last couple years. Just curious if you are looking for crossbred bulls or maine bulls to use. Dr who is a very consistent bull but would consider heat wave or a few heat wave sons for steers.
