What bull would you use??

[oakbar]

I thought I'd pick the brains of all the knowledgeable cattle people on SP about bull choices for the two cows pictured below.    The first is our Myrtle Bo cow.  She is out of AR Su Lu Moonshine and GF Miss Myrtle Bo 305.  Most of you are familiar with her from our avatar and have given me ideas on another post about "Myrtle" but I would like some input on the Dream Girl cow as well. 

The second is SS Dream Girl 3110.  She is out of MSF Equity and AF RDS Dream Girl 05. 

Both are TH and PHA free and I'll probably flush them this winter and breed them for a natural calf in the spring.  I'd be open  to suggestions for Shorthorn, Maine, or Club Calf bulls.

Have you considered Big and Rich,he is a full sib to Bloodstone and solution, another maybe Tammy Gottschalk new bull The Da Vanci Code, he is a full sib to grey goose and is very nice.

WOLF WILLOW MAJOR LEROY is pretty hot up here in Canada right now and he's clean,just my opinion.That first cow looks like a tank is she really that big or is it just the picture?

Maine wise....Have you thought about Hotline?

only for the first cow.  from my perspective (which isn't much), hotline isn't consistent enough for depth which your first one has plenty of.

The hotlines I've seen have been really deep and gorgeous.

comparing gigolo joe and total package, gigolo joe wins hands down for depth. my two tp calves could use some depth.  he added none to my lp/backdraft bred cow and none to my direct midas powerplant cow.  the two calves are complete opposites.  the midas one looks likes out of majors money man, and the other looks like he's out of streamliner.

Total Package?  I thought we were talking about Hotline?  I have 2 total packages and a hotline.  The Total Package heifers are a really late maturing type, but I am really starting to like them.
I agree Joe is awesome, just throwing out a different option with Hotline, and Hotlines are selling bigtime and winning.

Hey everybody,

Thanks for all the suggestions.  I'm also considering Nautica and Premium Blend for Maine bullls.  What do you think of them??

Maines-Dr. Who, Who Made Who
Angus-Morgans Direction? Not sure on his blood lines if he is CCS or not, but we have had great success with him on our Angus cows. He produces awesome heifers, who make great mothers.
