This has been a fascinating post. If I responded to everything interesting to me, it would be a small novelette. This heifer needs to be bred Angus (I have a few biases here) or Jake's Proud Jazz. If she was mine, I would never breed her club calf (Heat Wave derivatives) or at least for the first two calves. Keeping that in mind, I have been one of the "genius" breeders that have been selling this type of female for years only to figure out that these girls can produce champions out of clean Shorthorns and Angus. Back to Angus biases, I have no idea why Northern Improvement has remained so popular for so long, they are shallow bodied and hard doing...his son BEB Juneau is far superior (his dam was incredibly deep and thick), I have no idea why all of these NI fans have not figured out this alternative... ;D Good luck!
PS-Check out the pics of the champion Shorthorn at Fort Worth, JPJ x Heat Wave first calf heifer..I saw him...WOW!
