I need some advice on what bull to use on mid/large framed angus cows needing more top and quarter as well as a little better front. They had who made who calves this year that look good so far. i am just starting to breed for show calves, and want a clean bull so i can breed and show the heifers, as well as something that sires good steers. while a black calf would be fine, any suggestions on bulls to add color would be great. Thanks!!

Cowgurl- any preference on breed? You want to downsize if I'm correct? I like Money Man to downsize some. He's clean.

Sounds like you're doing pretty good so far.  WMW is a really good way to get started in clubbies.  If there were any heifer calves in that group that are pretty good, seriously consider keeping them back for cows.  

As far as adding color, I think there are a few different bulls that you could use.  

PB Shorthorns- Jake's Proud Jazz (make's em thick, sound, and hairy)

                        CLB Notorious (white, lots of hair, makes really nice heifers)
                       
                        AF SL Sin City (another white bull, has an excellent pedigree)

You can't really go wrong with HW if you want good stout calves.  If you don't want carriers i guess you could test the heifers you want to keep.

Well, im leaning toward a shorthorn or smoky/white bull to add color. a little downsizing might be good

I would try Alias on the cow types you are talking about.  The word is to use him on "just cows"  and not to use him on anything with alot of power or structure issues as he can take them over the edge.  I believe him to be a changer, much like WMW.

If you look at Gigolo Joe's ads he's worked well on a wide variety of cows.

As far a WMW on heifers' I'd be personally very cautious.

A bull that we are very pleased with this year on Angus cows like you describe is Carneyman.  Most have heard that he will give you very nice heifers but the bull calves have been a very pleasent surprise to us.  We have them right along with some Macho bull calves, if your shooting for showsteers, the Carneyman bulls are clear in front of the Macho bullcalves. Moderate, good fronts, very good bone, stylish and Yes there is some color.
