She is a 4 year old char. cross cow. She is a Landslide (Char bull) x Anchor. She has been flushed once to Heat Wave but produced poorly due to a infection. She only had 4 transferable eggs. But Im looking for some real thick and hairy show steers. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! If you choose other please give me your ideas

You have a nice looking cow there, but due to front ends alone, the bulls on your list are problematic. Point Taken and My Turn won't clean her up, so you really only have a list of Walks Alone and Monopoly. One is unproven, so for a flush I guess you go Monopoly, unless you didn't like your heatwave's out of her...not sure why you aren't going back to HW unless you didn't like them...in which case all these bulls are related to him??

I've got a My Turn out of a PB Char. Landslide daughter and she is awesome.  Came out silver, about 95#, great hair and sound.  I know that the general public never fell in love with the picture of My Turn, and that's VERY unfortunate.  The people that have used him once, order twice or three times as much semen the next year.  He is undoubtedly the most CONSISTENT Heat Seeker influenced sire on the market. I'm headed out east to video some of the older My Turns that people are raving about....I know one has already sold for $7500.

If I can make time, and figure out how to do it......I'm going to post some other pics from the original My Turn photo shoot and have you guys vote on your favorite.  Tracy, Wade and I ALL landed on that picture we used and LOVED IT!  We never once thought that the little bit of front he showed in that pic would BUG everyone (especially with the look of the Heat Wave sired Grand steers everywhere, which generally have a little front). As a mature bull, his neck looks like Sugar Ray used to...really long and clean.....GO FIGURE!

I would second the thoughts of JBH, we have about 5 or 7 my turn's on the ground out of various cows and they are very consistent.  Haven't had any BWT problems and they are all long fronted stout and super cool looking.  We did just as he said, ordered some the first year and more the second year and probably will order more this year.

Milkman could be a great way to go on her for some great thickness. You would have a chance of an all white calf, smoke, or black that way. I have some young I Am Legends that are real hairy, soft, and appear to be sound.
