We are new to the Maine world. We have a Bojo heifer that we are going to be breeding this spring and was wondering on some input about sire choices
Jesse James vs I-67
We have been going back and forth on these 2 bulls for a while. Depends what picture of the bull (I-67) we look at. I have never seen either bull in person so it is difficult. A local large scale club calf producer by us has had great luck with Jesse James and now that he is dead will his progeny hold greater value?
She massive, sound and has plenty of power, good haired and stout. She looks a bit terminal looking so We would like to lengthen her neck out but it by no means is bad.
We would like to produce steers that are marketable in the midwest and heifers that will be progressive to be retained. Main goal is to get a nice, little live calf. Paperable maine would be nice but is not a major deciding factor at this point.
Just wondering what sire people would chose; or if there is a calving ease sire we are missing the boat on.
Thanks.
