akcattle said:Would anyone consider using Thriller on a heifer since he is an Ali son. I am not sure if I should due to the heatwave from his dam. His birthweight is not too high though. ????
TMJ Show Cattle said:Don't let anyone fool you.If you are breeding NI to Angus you will be ok but on crosses they can be much higher and unless they are heifers,mostly throw aways.On crosses or Angus use Total Solution and you wll get low birth in the 60's and 70's and if your females are good,you will get good saleable calves,and good replacements.

akcattle said:thanks for the imput. think Im going to go with capiche. He is a JPJ son. Had a heifer out of a 4yr old cow and the BW was 60. I was just wondering if the Ali would offset the heatwave influence in the Thriller bull.
jallen said:If your thinking Angus I would agree any of occ or sav Final answer or net worth have been great for us. But as they said if you breed them to a clubby heifer it still can be a big calf do to not so much the birth weight but the hips and shoulders.
