Im thinking that bull didn't pan out as hoped,For all the hype and displaying the bull,There hasn't been a whole lot of calf reports.

I’ve had real good success with him on a big ole hairy bear x simmy cow. Gives good rib and a lot bone.  They usually aren’t too powerful at birth but really pack it on as they grow. Only calf I had a issue  with and this is getting picky was maybe a touch sickle hocked. All my calves are under 80 pounds.  On commercial type he should well.

We've also had success with General Lee. All are out of PB Charolais or Charolais X. I'm going to attach some pics. The first pic is out of a PB Charolais. Yesterday won class 15 in the ORB at SALE. She is over 2 but dont have any recent pics. The next two calves are full sibs out of a Captain Morgan X Popeye cow. All the calves had BW in th 70s, had good bone, and are sound in my opinion.

Seems to work pretty well on our meyer influenced cows. We've had several ring eyes and stocking feet. Probably not as hairy as we might like overall. We are feeding 2 now and sold one to a neighbor. 2 easy feeders, one a little harder doing. All seem to have great dispositions.
