Go with some Meyer 734 bloodlines on the Flush daughter, that combo clicks well.  How concerned are you with th , pha, etc...?

Are you wanting to stay clubby/show cattle type? Braunvieh are a great, great maternal breed and are moderate with muscle, milk and carcass traits. If you like the bull on my avatar, let me know!

I like the ree heights idea.....but if you are wanting to keep heifers as replacement I would definetly go meyer blood lines! or maybe New Look and Carney Man (has some distant Meyer 734 blood). But bulls like King Meyer would be cool,and maybe some other 734 sons like maximus or macho

Anytime you can use WMW or FF that's a smart idea,if bred to the right cows.What kind of cow/s is that Full Throttle cow out of? FT hooks up with Heatseeker pretty good. Real good in fact,if she were a powerplant daughter[Full Throttle cow's mother].Breed those herefords to Carpe Diem or Cottonmouth. Some folks aregoing crazy over the Climax bull,however as far as his daughters go,there aren't even close to being enough out there to substantiate whether they will make good clubby mothers. Maximus or Aftershock has been proven for years,along with S.O.S. Macho works ok but not as consistant as the other bulls. If you have alot of cows and want to experiment then by all means use Climax or Meyer Meyer or King Meyer.

I've seen some neat Nelson 26T2 calves out of cows like your talking about.  It maybe a neat cross and you'd get reg. maintainers.  You may want to talk to Juli about it.  Semen is down to like $25 on him now.

Another bull to consider is Chill Factor, I have seen several awesome FF x CF cows as well as CF x Angus that produce excellent steers. Just a thought.
