Like many people with show cattle.....I  have a short, stubby monopoly cow.  I need a bull that will up her frame score.  She's registered Chimaine, so I would like a Maine bull.  Are there any out there that will add frame?

Yellow Jacket should. Lifeline also. I believe that Dirty Harry 2 will also.  Just to name a few.

If she has some middle to her, try set me free. Especially if you are unsure of her th status

I'm really liking the idea of yellow jacket.  The cow is red. Her dam is white and genetics go back to Kris Black's herd.
This could be a neat calf!

DH or DH2 will add frame, but my choice would be One and Only, plus he throws really good baldies and they are good as heifers or steers

I would not consider her to have a ton of middle.  She has great spring of rib and excellent bone, however she lacks frame and her shoulders need set back.

Thanks for the pic. I don't think set me free would be great on her after seeing her. Yj won't help her depth either but will add frame. If look at va softer made bull for her. A bull like renegade blues could really be neat on her. Also silveras style has became popular on cows like her. Recently an outsider (Rodgers ) steer placed 3rd overall at a Midwest state fair out of a monopoly cow I believe.

Yeah YJ wouldn't work there. She needs something with some middle. The big knock on Maines especially high % Maines is they don't have have a lot of middle.

look at yello Repo... I think he does add some depth .. but I don't think he will upsize a lot.. Yardley Captain is a recent bull that is available from the owners... I am trying him but won't know much until next year or two

I got a silveras style straw today from a neighbor.  Seemed easier and cheaper than placing an order. 

I thought about breeding her to a char bull.  The bull I have in my tank would add frame, but doubtful on depth.  Thank you all! Pray for some cooler weather so she settles!
