I have narrowed my angus bull to use for next year to these four bulls.  I want strucure , volume  and overall phenotype.  Give me your opinions.

Thanks,

I don't know if this really helps you out, but I bred Brilliance to my simmy/angus heifer. Hopefully she stuck!

I am really happy with my Bush's Unbelievable calves!  Calving ease, and lots of look...and as they have grown, they are adding volume and muscle.  Plenty of performance to use for breeding cattle too.  I've got some recent pictures of calves on our website...check them out!  www.bluffcountrycattle.com  (clapping)

Thanks Brent!  Plan to wean in a couple weeks and get a couple ready for MN Beef Expo in Oct.  I had one Bismarck in the past, but didn't like how he tied in behind his shoulders.  The Unbelievables are nice there.  I thought some of the Brilliance calves I've seen have had a little extra leather on their front end, but that's being picky.  The Unbelievable's are really nice fronted.  I certainly think he will make some nice show heifers...guess we'll see for ourselves in a couple months!

DO any of you guys or gals have any trouble with white and these are suppose to be registered ANGUS cattle that we have been raising using A.I. SIRES from reputable studs .....I have had a couple usually every year ,this year I have 4-5 I think out of different sires ,just small spot on navels ,
not in front so I guess their legal but not my idea of what my ANGUS should look like and worried there will be more .....

Brent...I added a couple photos from today of another Unbelievable heifer that is looking real good.  They are on the homepage of our website.  Thought you might enjoy!!  Considering 4 out of our 5 Unbelievable's are pictured, that isn't too shabby.  And the 5th is no slouch, just haven't pictured him yet...

Brent...here's a pic I snapped yesterday of our son of Bush's Unbelievable.  We call him Bluff Country Unstoppable and his AAA #17363481.  He had a 78 lb birthweight and adjusted weaning weight out of a heifer of over 850lbs!  Pretty excited about this one, and think he'll look smokin good with a clip job later this winter!  Thought you'd like to see...  Thanks!

All are good and very very similar pedigree wise.  I would go with First Impression since his dam produced two Denver champions within three years sired by two completely different bulls.

I've seen a lot of really good calves out of the Bismark bull. The new herd bull at the farm I work at is out of Bismark and he is gorgeous.

I have bred several Limmy and Angus cows to Dameron First Impression. The northern miss 3114 cow is why I chose to use him.

Had a BUSH Unbelievable heifer calf this weekend out of a Simmi/Maine cow.  Actually was surprised it came out with a full baldy face.  Not complaining at all, just surprised.  Calf looks nice, came small probably around 65 lbs.  Will try to get some pictures of her this week.
