Thanks.

We will have about 30 calves from Moto Moto natural service.

I will try to post some pics of the claves born to clubby bred heifers and cows.  Everyone that I have talked to likes their Moto calves.  No calving issues that I know of.

I love the amount of top and natural muscling that the Moto calves have; these calves as well as the ones that you've posted on facebook look great!

I have a Jesse James heifer I will be breeding next year and while I know it is early I have been trying to come up with a plan.  Right now I am leaning towards Moto Moto or a low birthweight Maine.  The calf would hopefully be used either as a replacement heifer or shown as a market steer at our county fair.

Does anyone have pictures of Moto Moto sired calves out of white Shorthorn cows?
Or White Jazz calves out of Moto Moto daughters?

Moto is only 3 years old, so his first daughters are just being bred this Spring.  I have not received any pics from those that have used Moto Moto on Shorthorns.

Here are updated pics of 3 Moto Moto sired calves.  These are all 3/4 Blood Galloway and 1/4 Angus, 65, 66 and 74 lb birth weights respectively.

It was 32 degrees and raining with a 35 mph wind.  Perfect Galloway weather.  ;)

I might be being a pain in the a%^^&*s-but I took pictures of some of the dams 1st calvers that had these Moto calves at MChales in Lewisburg WVA  in a really bad draught last August-pretty bad conditions,and Yall need to pay attention-these are way good cattle-and Ive really been wanting to see the calves-so heres the pictures of a few of those calves dams-it may take several girations: but I can see from jumpstreet how pretty the cross is. If I can fault the others I:ve seen.a lttle shortnecked with a little heavy fronted look-thats clearly gone on this cross-but the thickness hasnt even started yet-JMO-the MChale calves right now- out of those mojitos-are by far the best Galloway crosses i"ve seen you post -and thats saying something cause you"ve put up some good ones-these are going to be some way good calves-of ANY BREEDING RE black calves-PERIOD-hats off to you-and ABSOLUTELY to MCHALE-he could have bred those hiefers to a biily goat-and gotten GOOD ONES: but he used your bull for alot of the right reasons  JMO  O0

Here is a 3 month old Full blood heifer calf sired by Moto Moto.

Mark once you get a clipper on them, their necks lengthen out.  ;D

They sure have the rib etc without the BWS-Somebody needs to use him on a Shorthorn or two O0

We're working on it.  Potentially breeding Ruby back to him after we get done flushing her. 

Would consider doing a flush too, but probably only if there were enough interest in some of the embryos.
