MAB, I Believe, or Roger That.?

What would you recommend AI'ing her too? She is a Hannibal.

Thanks for all the help.

I'd try Second 2 None.  An I-believe son.

When someone post a picture of female my first question is what do you want out of her? you have hannibal on one side which is pretty much composite. Do you want steers, heifers, replacements etc? is this her first calf or are you talking second third? What's on the other side of hannibal?
I plan AI matings by what has visually worked for us. It isn't always what is "hot" at the moment. But if we are breeding terminal we try to look for bulls like Monopoly in the terminal deal that have some sort of consistent look an appeal. If i am going for a replacement female the selection process is quiet different. The picture you posted shows what appears to be a hairy clubbier made female. limited in what we can see in one dimensional photo's her top how's her quarter etc? Does she milk?
I like the Hannibal females I have seen. They seem to be ultra feminine and have some grow to their offspring. I guess little more direction in what you are trying to achieve always helps with a more focused recommendation. 9 months is a long time to waste to get a calf that is stock yard material at best.
I like some of the purebred Maine's, shorthorns and Simmi's on these black females. You have lots of options with the calves you get. Most of those programs offer an option to register as foundation or percentage stock. should you end up with a female or male you want to build a breed on and stabilize genetics.

Sorry for long post....

me personally would like to see a good steer with a lot of bone, but am trying to build my herd with some big boned females at the same time so I'm also looking for some big boned market heifers... That's kind of what I'm looking for if this helps... Thanks

We recently saw I-67 at Ohio Beef Expo. He look like he did in his promotional picture. He is pretty stout and thick. He has thrown some nice heifer prospects.
Monopoly Money, Gold Rush, MAB all three have seen calves with added bone and muscle. We are feeding a Gold Rush that is hairy as an ox and monster bone. They have extra grow to them for sure.
I like the Unstoppable's although not monster boned they are soft made with that easy feeding look. The females look like they woudl make nice replacements. The steers we are feeding have done well and seem to get better with age.
We have a BPSL Boomer son that when used on feminine females he throws very masculine calves and heifers are very eye appealing. Purbred maine on a few clubbier cows and some registered shorthorns and maines.We used him on a high percentage maine female with a tick of clubby breeding and got a freak of calf. Dirty Harry has worked well in our herd. Double Vision(defects) but makes nice terminal animals. FSF Assisin, Phildon Fringe are a couple others but as with any of the bulls have to count on defects. defects in terminal animal may not matter but if you retain a female for breeding makes those matings that much more difficult.

I think when you said you are "just starting out" you should use bulls with options. One' that will leave you with a repalcement female should the mating not work out. Your a young breeder, start out right. I tried the popular matings etc and had large vet bills and ended up with poor milking mothers etc. Its cheaper if you are diligent in your selection process and plan for the potential replacements now.

Moto Moto. You'll get something valuable for any of the goals you stated.

Anything that goes back to heat wave and monopoly significantly decreases your chances of them milking. I think point taken or alias would suite you better

The cow side to I believe is amazing so it really wouldn't matter if I got a male or female out of the mating the outcome should still be pretty good. With BIM on the topside that would be for the males and the Cow side on the bottom would be for the females
