This is one of our Registered Angus cows due to be bred next week.  Her pedigree is VRD, 1407 and Bushwacker.  She has had some good ones in the past including an Angus steer shown by the Busmuss family in South Dakota that was undefeated a few years ago. 

Our choices are SAV Pioneer, BC Lookout, LS Dark Horse and TC Grid Topper 355.  If some body can give me a compelling reason we do have Smooth Sailing, WMW or Heat Seeker on hand. 

The second picture is her Angus steer.  Also a sale bull she had by Summitcrest High Prime 0H29.

Wish I could afford to flush her so we could get a little variety in a year.  She has worked great with a variety of bulls. 

Any other ideas?

I am a fan of the Maine bull Open Bar, and Irish Whisky wouldn't be a bad idea.

If she were mine, I would breed her to something maternal like SOS or Harwood 209.  We are going to use sos and 209 quite a bit this year to get some replacements.

i think she has good fleshing ability, you might want to use a bull to clean up her front just a tick, and maybe but a little less tail head and more meat on her back end.
Nice animal just needs something something with a little more style.

well, i think just about anything would work on her. if you wanted to go maine, i would try paddy o'malley or irish whiskey or maybe shoot for a clubby heifer and breed her to hannibal. i'm sure she would work with smooth sailing, she seems to have enough depth.

If she were mine I would go who made who to get some awesome females, smooth sailing to get some knockout steers, or any of your pb sires to get a killer purebred!!!

Out of the choices you have provided i think LS Darkhorse would be the best option. But if she were mine, i would be breeding her to carney man for a replacement.

Sounds like WMW, Smooth Sailing and LS Dark horse are the popular choices so far.  We pull CIDRS Monday night so I better decide soon.

Any other ideas?
