He should make a super cow maker. Reliable maternal pedigree. Looks great on his feet and legs. Lots of value.

Way to go... And the more you practice and listen to criticism the better you will become. Good job!

Great find Knabe - Now that's what I call entertainment. Think I might try that at home - BRAVO!

If you want to experiment, Rapid Rewards is a super powered up bull that is producing some good ones. I don't know what you're after as far as a type, but this guy is sure to give you some extra mass...

Thunderdownunder - I think that top calf knows he's pretty special and I also think he's a stud. What's his pedigree?

Very good choice, IMO. Forgot his name but that reserve grand fullblood Maine at this years Houston was pretty special. Maybe a little framey for some but I think Fullbloods should have some frame. Might compliment Whiskey genetics. I also like Dameron's First Class the Angus bull. Those...

Line bred Whiskey could possibly be a good thing if she does what she is suppose to; Breed back, raise a calf, etc.. I do think if you buy her you will need a strategy on breeding options. Maine genetics can get too close and at times problematic if you want to mate her that way. A truly total...

Thanks for the report. I liked him on paper but saw a video of him and did not like his foot size, either.

Not to hi-jack this but was curious to see if anyone is going to sample Lautner's Maternally Yours?

Horn's Lovin the Business (Yellow Jacket son) would be one of my choices. Also call Horn up and he will guide you with the right kind of bull. Perhaps a Charolais cross with something other then something with too much Maine (Your cow is basically linebred Cunia). He'll know some bulls that will...

I don't know how everything came out but that solid black Skiles' steer looked better then awesome in picture that Lautner posted.  Apparently a HW breed cow sired by Monopoly. Would like to know what people thought of him in person.

I'm glad they are having their deserved run of stardom. Charolais breeders did a great job over the last several decades selecting practical performance traits and still keeping them visually appealing. They compliment many different breed types. Mid-tone colored cattle do look better in the...

Difficult to see but he is really starting to come-on and seems to be maturing nicely with some muscle and a good profile. Looks right-on-target for FW. Keep up the good work.

Jones Show Cattle or Brent Tolle could tell you where you could see calves, which would be his first crop. He also looks good on paper and has a younger full brother which was Reserve to him at NAILE. Don't know about the hair but should be at least adequate. Gucci is another option that was...

It's JMO, but you might consider a low percentage 1/2 Maine for a 3/4 blood calf. I like Jirl Buck's new 1/2 blood bull that he's promoting. I believe he's an I-80 son out of a Northern Improvement dam. Daddys Money would also be a consideration if you want more Maine. He is very moderate...

What are you wanting from a breed perspective... Maine, clubby, slick, replacement heifer? What were the genetics that threw the midget? What does your cow go back to other then Whiskey?

I've shown in showmanship numerous times and never won or for that matter got in the top. I also consider myself a very good showman. DLD, you could not have said it better. There is something "intangible" about showmanship. Showmanship is about applying and bringing together all the technical...

I like to compare livestock showmanship with a Broadway Play or any other stage performance where you are the actor with an audience and a good performance goes off smoothly. You must rehearse and practice and have someone that has a good eye with  knowledge of showmanship critique you. Learning...

A lot of good things about that heifer. Well balanced, frame size looks practical and appears to have some flex by looking at her structural makeup. Profile looks right-on in the bottom show picture. Really deep made carrying it back to her flank. I don't know how you could make her better. ...

It sounds like she works best on those moderate chunkier type bulls. Choppin Wood would be my pick and an outcross to your cow. Nice looking cow.
