I have smokin Joe heifer out of a Shorthorn Cow. She will have her first calf this spring and I am looking for something to breed her to for high $$ calves. She is very clubby looking with good muscle, depth and eye appeal. Things that I do not like is she is small framed and very straight on the rear. She could also be a little smoother up front. My biggest concern though is how straight she is on the back legs. I am breeding for steers and do not want to lose her muscle and style, but need a good structual bull that will add a little more frame. I have been using monopoly, sunseeker, sin city and headliner on most of my other cows. I am afraid monopoly will not add any frame size and sunseeker will not help her back legs. Does anyone have any experience with different bulls that will help fix these problems. I figure an Angus bull would fix it, but I am scared that the calves would not have enough power to get the high dollars. Thanks in advance.
