I have some Lut, and Jeauno calves, and they are OK. What I am looking for is a crossbred bull. Final Answer has his place but not in the show ring.

If they are not big framed I would go with Hannibal.
If they are big framed I would suggest JPJ, or Dr.Who.

I have used all these bulls and had luck with them on angus cows.

Pretty good suggestions, IMHO.  I also think that Perfect Timing would work well on big Angus cows (probably better than JPJ).

What about TM Gus? or Tyson? I am attaching a pic of an angus cow I was thinking of flushing and those two came to mind. Would they work on her?

Depends on what you want. Alias for Char cross, JPJ or Gus for Blue Roans, Heatwave or clones for blacks, and I've got an Angus calf out of Patton that is flat good - he might be worth trying to produce one that would class Angus, Purebred most any of those OCC bulls and I really like Copyright.
