Just from reading this post ,it reminds me of the one you guys wrote for Alias a couple years ago....I think Walk Alone will work, but you need to be very select in the cows you use, many of these clubby cows you guys have are not structureally correct to start with... If you don't believe me go to the pen out behind some Embryo technican place and survey the donor cows out there ....Use him on cows that are structurally correct and he has enough power to make you some dam good calves... Did I mention power ,something in my opinion MONOPOLY doesn't have enough of, there pretty ,lots of hair ,and have good structure but he also needs certain cows to work at his best...
Sounds like Stithka Will have some very good calves to me ,the bigger birthweights are part of raising the kind that are winning in the show ring ,.......The birth weight is quiite a bit like the structure, alot of the clubby type females will definitely throw bigger birthweight ....I personally think Walk Alone might work on good Angus cows ,they proably don't need to be small or some of the Ohlde smaller ones ....We had a tremendous looking calf last fall out of him and A PUREBRED cHAROLAIS cow of moderate size, 92 lb. calf and had a quick pnemonia and lost him....gonna try it again, have her set up to flush...
