Bulls to Use for a 2nd calving...

[grandchamp58]

In your opinion which bull is better:

I-80, Ego Trip, or Rumor Mill. I want to breed my show heifer from last year to a clubby bull, right now shes bred to an angus but i think she can make some nice show calves. I think her traits will work well with these bulls, but if you have any more suggestions please let me know. I would like to square her up a bit from behind and clean up her front, but she is very powerful and extremely sound. Thanks!

I would have to say I-80. We had 5 calves out of him this year and they were some of my best calves.

I would have to say Rumor Mill.  I've seen a few leggy I-80's.

Since Rumor Mill was one of the bulls you mentioned, I wanted to show you a son of his that will be shown and sold in the Bright Lights Maine-Anjou Bull Sale at Denver.  He is out of a Major's Money Man dam.  We have been fortunate to see heifers, steers, and bulls that look quite promising out of Rumor Mill.
