Opinions on our commercial Heinz 57 heifer

What bull could we use, (looking for a pure breed Angus not really a clubby)to help level this heifer out and put more bone on her frame?

I think the first Rate sons have added a little power to the angus deal if that is what you want.  I like Blue chip, am crious about Primo, but there are a lot of them, and there are people who have a better handle on attributes of each bull than me.  Hopefully some will chime in...

Here's a picture of the heifer. I couldn't get it to post in the first post.

I'm open to other breeds but looking for a 60 to 70 pound calf regardless of breed

A 60lb calf may have a hard time being very strong and lively. You also won't be adding any bone using a bull that small.

I'd suggest Brilliance. Easy calving, good growth, very nice patterned cattle.

To give alittle more information on our heifer she was born 2/20/16 and she's been on full feed since weaning. Her mother is a smaller cow 1000 to 1100lbs. We just finished the last show of the season Saturday and the heifer weighed 680 so she's a smaller heifer that's why we were wanting a lighter birth weight. We will probably be breeding her in May or June.

HB is not just giving a sales pitch on Moto Moto.  We had our first calf by him a month ago.  Came easy, hairy, and definitely stouter than mama.  Would recommend him.  Will try to post a pic.

I agree about MOTO-and as far as cleaning up that top and hip-Will on here has a couple bulls routinely throwing really small -(almost too small) calves with that Gizmo hip-and there just isnt any other bull of any breed that changes em like that-NONE O0

Where can you get Moto Moto semen?

Genex may still have some.
We have both conventional and sexed heifer semen available at Hawkeye Breeders in Iowa.  We have conventional semen stored with Genex in Billings Montana

  What is the pedigree of your heifer?

 

[Chuck Wagon]

He's a nice looking bull.  I saw his pic slick sheared
