kidding aside, think about this. this is a plan of what to do with females that you wanted to be steers. why do you want to breed them. this is part of the reason heatwave steers are expensive, to recover this cost. there really isn't a track record out there of making a majority of heatwave females loose and free moving by a specific mating.
there was an angus bull on here someone was pushing who is as free moving a bull as i've seen in a long time. try him. basically, you have at least 3 problems. tight short strided small females without an outlet for grass fed beef at a premium. sell most of them, keep the ones you want for an experiment, and buy sexed heat wave semen or have the embryos sexed. in my opinion, and of course people will say there are exceptions, you are beating a dead horse with a huge stick.
frankly, i actually like the holstein idea. you would get soundness, flex in their pasterns, hocks, marbling, milk, height, black and white pattern, a little more extension, length in muscle, heck, use the red and white holsein bull for red and whites as heatwave is a red carrier and not solid pattern carrier.
