Ok, I'm going to join the which bull to use club. I've got a shorthorn cow, RadioActive x Navaho x Dixie Chic, and I want to flush her clubby. She's been posted on here before with this year's calf, and I got a lot of feedback saying to go clubby with her. I have done some homework, and I know I can sell them, but I've got to decide on a bull. She is about a 6.3-6.5 frame cow, great neck extension, cleanliness, smooth shoulder. She's plenty stout and deep and long. Easy keeping. She's got the mamma sow hip (for a lack of better words; not shaped like a HW steer, but plenty of room) I like her rear leg, but she's sitting on that showy but still acceptable line. We don't need to get any straighter. I need a PHA Free bull. I don't want tee tiny frame scores. I would rather have 10 really nice, solid calves than one great one and nine throw aways. Recips are simmy and charolais cross cows. Should calve fine, but I want reasonable birthweights. Bull needs to sire good bone, good qtr, acceptable necks, acceptable depth, and be pretty flexible.. I'm not a risk taker, so right now I'm looking at Dr. Who. I think she could handle something different though, so any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Sarah
