I have an old Leachman Saugahatchee 3000C cow. She is about to calve. I am going to flush her and send her to Mc Donald’s. Which Reg Angus bull would make the best combo? Her calves are thick , square, belly draggers, and they weigh out. I would post a pic but it keeps telling me file is to big. Thanks
 
Save the file to a smaller size and then it’s belly won’t drag.
 
Or crop it , then try. What would you like to correct about her calves?
 
Not much to correct. She milks heavy, makes thick calves ,feet could be better,  a little hot not to bad. I want thick , clean fronted, heavy animals that will make my neighbors come over to see.  I was thinking Mgock Entice or Musgrave Exclusive.  Goal of pretty thick heifers. Bulls are a dime a dozen.

Conley South Point might work here.  Semen is expensive, but for a flush might be worth it.
 
If I was breeding Angus right now, I like the Charlo sons like Rainfall and Raindance. They are phenotypically good and improvers for foot and udder quality.
 
How large of frame is she and what size cattle are you aiming for?
 
I dont care about frame so much. She is about 1500 pounds, I figure I have something someone wants and would like to flush and try and sell embroyos. She always has my thickest big bellied, fertile calves, her and her heifers allway's AI first shot. If I cant sell them I will put them in myself.
 
IVF her with conventional, reverse sort if you want heifers. You can flush her every few weeks, although the conception rate will be slightly lower with frozen eggs. You can try a variety of sires on her that way as opposed to being tied to just one choice. Be sure you watch recipients for maintaining pregnancy and be ready to induce using this method. For some reason, you tend to have a few cows who don't begin the natural calving process with this process. I know this happens from experience and have heard the same from others but is a simple fix with good records management and a timely shot.
