What Purebred Char. Bull to use on a Flush??? Opinions?

[4j farms]

I am about to flush a registered no miss purebred char. cow that has sired some great ones! She has been used only on the clubby deal with like Monopoly and Heat Wave. Trying to create some great purebred genetics and will probably have ten embryos.  Looking for advice on what to breed her to???? Advice from personal experience? I do have a registered char. herd along with the clubbies we raise but I'm looking for something that would work in both the purebred arena and possibly the clubby deal later on?

I need more information on her performance and pedigree along with the finer points of what you want to improve.  Also what sells in your area for bulls (power, calving ease etc.) is very important as well.
Here are some bull sale catalogs for you to look at from north of the 49th.  You will see a wide variation in cattle types and owners:
two sales so far on the Charolais banner site:

http://www.buyagro.com/cats/2011/HEJ/index.htm
http://www.buyagro.com/cats/2011/beckmccoy11/index.htm
Sparrows bull sale:

This should give you some ideas.

Sorry for the confusion on the Sparrows Bull sale link.  The correct link is:
http://www.buyagro.com/cats/2011/Sparrows/index.htm
This is one of the highest averaging Charolais bull sales.

I agree totally with Mark H.  Depending on your cow and your goals...

One bull that you may want to consider is TR Mr. Fire Water 5792 ET RET.

He is a proven mature bull that seems to be doing a very nice job.  IMHO  Genetic Horizons picked him up for 2011, and I am going to try a sampling.  He is in their 2011 Sire Directory.

Need some info for what you want out of the calves in the flush, and cow pedigree would help. 
As and owner of Firewater, I thinkyou would like the calves if you want moderate framed, stout cattle that have an extra shot of eye appeal, and the daughters are making great cows.  Firewater won't ass any extra hair, but will maintain.  If you want some stout made easy doing cattle, I would reccomend Gerrard Montezuma.  I have 20 calves on the ground, and 2 calves out of a Montezuma son.  Not sure they are gonna be show cattle, but have allot of hair and muscle.  Both bulls can be purchased through Genex. 
    Give us a little more detail on what you want,,,maybe then we can be of more help.

I recommended TR Firewater in a PM.
If you want to look at6 more breeding programs look at:

i have a promotion bull out of lead on (too young for me to say to use my bull). but id say lead on is a good one for sure that will make a stout s.o.b, also gridmaker is a good one
