She looks great in the picture. What are your plans with matching her up?

 

[Sassy2899]

I would definitely breed her to monopoly or heat wave when she gets older.  She looks like she will make some awesome steers and market heifers.  Even some breeding heifers if you get her on the right bull.

 

[chucksam]

flushing her 2 monopoly has been a thought, but for what it cost and what you can get it probably wouldnt be worth it.

 

[chucksam]

Any More???? ;D

 

[vet tech]

If she is th free monopoly. Same sire isn't that big of a deal. Just hope for bull calves if say. Nice one!

 

[rjb]

If she's a th I would try thriller. Worked great for us!

If she's really that good, put an Angus bull with predictable genetics on her.. for more than just her first calf.. something to add a little more cushion off both ends, lengthen out that hip, keep some rib & add a shot of maternal to resulting heifers. Rodman has proven himself multiple times & seems to pass on 'the look'.  Darkhorse created quite the stir, as did Style. Or you could go with the 2011 NAILE & 2012 NWSS Champion, First Impression.

P.S. Before you knock the idea-- what's the pedigree of that one bull.. Heatwave X ANGUS?... oh yeah, Monopoly is his name.

yep!! We usually go Angus or 1-80 with all of our first calf heifers!

 

[vet tech]

You should test her So you know

 

[cornish]

putting the cart before the horse aren't ya?  In three years something better will be out-- why not wait until then?

I've never seen a truly dominant breeding animal in the show ring turn into something truly outstanding in the breeding pen...

 

[knabe]

Predator, something remotely maternal, softer in the pasterns.

I realize anything can happen, and it could just be a fluke, but we cut a 110# heifer out of a first calver, that was bred to Rodman.  Mama still hasn't stood.  I'm just saying these "surefire" calving ease Angus can have some trouble too.

coming from the dam.  she would have popped out a 200 pound calf from any other bull... Not to shabby if the bull reduced her BW in half?

 

[rackranch]

Was the heifer fed very much grain or show ration during her last trimester or was she on pasture only?  Thanks for your response


To the OP, Rocky Balboa would be an option first time around as well...G-Luck

Calving ease... Angus, Red Angus, possibly Hereford. Look for structural integrity, maternal and  something with outcross potential... JMO. Take advantage of her near perfect phenotype and add some functionality. Bull or heifer calf. You still come out a winner IMO.

 

[mark tenenbaum]

Ist calf? Breathe Easy, Dirty Harry 2 ,Ali 2 etc have all produced real good calves-After that-huge amount of choices already listed,-Personally-I think some Maine would be good or a variation,Gucci,Rumer Mill,Avatar,etc-Or something like Mojito-if her Bws arent too big. O0

Well apparently, you haven't been around the livestock industry much than. LOL

What you just said had 2 be one of the dumbest things ever.... It's Called Genes! 

you have apparently not been around the club calf industry much then... where two things happen-- 1: zero animals have a consistent set of genetics to allow for predictablly breeding on traits-- and 2: bulls and genetics come in the flavor of the week package...

You haven't a clue what you're talking about.  I suggest you take advice from those clearly in the know.  Being competitive in the show ring and having the consistency bred in to replicate themselves have absolutely nothing in common.
