What clubby bull do you think works best or bigger framed, very correct angus cows? Have some walks alone and copyright semen will either of those work well? What bulls you suggest?
'aandtcattle said:beware of Walks Alone. I saw a WA calf the other day out of a common angus appearing cow that was hell for stout with tons of bone but he was so crippled, he won't be able to walk after he hits 900, totally buckled on the front end and incredibly bowed on the backend. Just sayin, use with caution.
AFSC said:If they are pure AN I would breed them maternal, PB AN if registered, or use them as recips. Its too hard to raise a steer stout enough out of a PB AN. So i deffinatly would not use MOP or Monopoly unless your wanting 3/4AN chi heifers and I've seen some nice heifers with this mating. I'm sure some will disagrees with me, but I've not seen a 3/4AN steer that I thought was stout enough to compete in the crossbred dev. If you're going to use them hoping for steers then Walks Alone is going to work as good as any. Eye Candy will stouten them up and downsize them too, maybe add more hair, but I'd still use them maternal or as recips if they were mine.
