Majors money man might be an outcross, foreplay works great on heifers and the females are keepers also

GVC Special Delivery, PB Maine and should be a good outcross to Ali.  Real nice calves and they come easy.

Not much to choose from. Special Delivery seems to be the "to go" bull. Was looking for one myself.

I'm using Maverick as I have some calves on the ground unassisted that their 4yr old dams needed assistance last year.

SHIVER not an ali but im impressed with wat ive used him on

We used Shiver two years ago on two heifers only one caught and she gave birth to a good little fifty pound heifer. We kept this heifer and she seems to have plenty of growth to her and good depth of body.

We used Total Solution last year on two heifers one being a sunseeker the other being a heatwave. Both calved completely unassisted. The calves were both 50-55 lbs. They are full of life up and moving in just minutes. Total Solution done for us what his ad said. He put a tremendous amount hair on the calves, they have more leg hair than any of the other calves we have. He is a Who Made Who X Habanero. You wouldn't guess that either of the calves were out of first calf heifers.
