I have a dirty hairy heifer that we will show this year and she is very structurally sound with plenty of substance.  Also had 2 bull calves born 2 days ago and they are very stout.  I can get you some pics of the any of these if you want.  Hope this helps some.

The ones I've seen need more bone and depth and some thickness in the steers. They were plenty pretty had some hair and had real nice front ends.

This is a Dirty Hairy x Tank/Hoo Doo that we raised this year. He was the only DH we had but definately will make a great slick one. The biggest bodied, boned and topped calf we have.

thanks alot

I would say that this is a case where some bulls work for some cows and some don't. We have a Dirty Harry Heifer and she is going to be a great brood cow. Deep sided nice top feminine and long bodied. She does not have alot of hair at all. She is out of a chi-ang cow. I was actually thinking of using him this year.

I have sold several Dirty Harry calves, and have lots of repeat customers.  Several heifers have went on to be State fair Champions and divison winners at the national Maine shows. Have only had two "Harry" steers. One has been breed chmpion in two Okla. jackpots an the other one is going to be slicked for the Texas shows. Mark Copus has control over him so he must be more than a hair ball,He is extremely thick,being out of a Manchild/Stricly Bussiness cow that is truly a powerhouse of a cow.

So what kind of cows/heifers does he seem to be working good with?
