Which Black "Steer" Bulls Do You Like Best (Other than Heat Wave)

[Telos]

We have gotten along well with About Time, Sunseeker, and Who Made Who.  These bulls are not for everyone though.  If you have cows with a lot of club calf genetics, you are asking for a disaster.  Cows need to be larger frame, and VERY sound, otherwise you will see quite a few cripples.  We currently have an About Time that is probably the best bull calf we have ever produced, and he is only 1 month old right now.  He is out of our Audrey (CTR Success) donor cow that we are sell a flush out of next week.  We are going to sell 1/2 interest and full possession of this bull calf next week at the Total Package Sale in Athens, TX on Oct. 11th.  Also our high selling from last years calf crop was an About Time out of our other CTR Success donor cow.  Seem's to be a little trend here.

Good luck and happy breeding.

Zane, I think you are right-on when you said "club calf genetics ". It's not only about the type of cow but also their genetic makeup that a lot of people forget when
breeding for these club calves. Who Made Who is a prime example. You want to use him on your ugliest cows without a drop of  any of the popular bulls that had "the look". That is probably why he hits so well with Sim-Angus cows.

Even though Cunia was a key player in most club calf cattle, too much can cause havoc from my experience.

...Also check out Kris Black's up coming bull sale. One of his best bulls is an About Time. It's the only bull he's keeping a 1/2 semen interest in.
