breeding question for pure bred maine cow

[nobody]

I need opinions on what to breed this pure bred maine cow to.  She has had 2 bulls calves so far, 1st was to a simangus bull the 2nd was to red rock.  She has a great udder and milk,very square in her hip.  The only issue she has is she gets a bit straight on her back legs.  I want to breed her to something that I can register pure bred maine, and that is sound with out giving up her muscle, depth and style. I would appreciate ANY opnions and advice. Thanks in advance.

HAA Wisdom 505S  Reg # 364619
He is a SLC Sooner 101M son onto a FJH Iceman 49G cow, that is a little different bred on her bottom side.

He is super smooth put together.  Deeper and softer made , with more maternal values than most  Maine AI Bulls, and yet still have this much muscle.  Some excellent show heifers out of him that have been doing consideralbe winning.

yeah we  want to flush her for sure..her mother was flushed to alias a couple of years ago and it was a train wreck.  We just want to be careful about who we breed her to. I appreciate everyones help, we certainly need it.

 

[ai er]

I'll agree with Wisdom.

 

[gates98]

I agree with Wisdom.  I love the pedigree she has.  good maternal bulls with the 1046A cow back there.  good luck!!

Knabe has the best advice I've seen so far.  Take it a step beyond and try to covince Mark to sell you a few straws of DMCC Limited Edition 4F. 
If unsuccessful, I would  go with  FJH Special Edition 505M.  See what Mueller says.

 

[FLASH]

I have seen some real nice predator calves i believe the bull is owned by the Holtcamps from Iowa.

if you are willing to pay the price for semen, Irish Whiskey would make some killer heifers out of her.

ever think of a Green Valley bull?  I really have like the GVC Maverick calves I've seen so far.  Most of there bulls are several generations polled, black, and solid pattern.

We sure stomped a bunch of Mercedes heifers in the ring back around '96-'99.  Some were very expensive too.  I was never that impressed.

Could you tell me about the bull cunia that is in this blood line. I mean just what experience you or anyone has had with him or his genetics.  I've seen people talk about him on here.  I really don't know anything about the maine bloodlines, but am trying to learn.  This is the only maine cow we have.

 

[AAOK]

Cunia was the Fullblood Maine-Anjou bull most responsible for establishing the breed in North America.

My goal right now is to get a competitive show heifer.  We are from Texas and as you know Ft worth does not have an orb show....of course Houston does but would like to stay out of that division if possible. So we want something that would reg. maine. I don't know much about these bloodlines and would like to know what I am breeding to before hand.  We are not breeders just parents.  And I would really like to not have to buy a show heifer next year.... (lol)  And...if we get a good match we want to flush her.
