Shorthorn breeding ?? * Calf pics added*

[SKF]

Here's a picture of our shorthorn cows that we will be AIing this year. She is out of a Sonny son. I was thnking of using either JPJ or Radioactive. I am looking for any opinions so please tell me what you think might work well with her. Thank you!!!

How tall is she?  I think either of those bulls would work, but for real, Perfect Timing would work on her too.  He makes em REAL thick and hairy, and your cow has such a nice front that he could really click with her.

I'd go Ace of Diamonds or Radioactive.

SKF,
This is my opinion base on experience.
WIth our Sonny cows, we have found to either line breed back to another Trump son or go to the Stuff lines. It is strange but Double Vision has done a wonderful job on our Sonny's. Of course these are terminal cross's. This is our first year of using Jake's Proud Jazz. I only used him one cow. What does the cow lack would be my question. Pictures are so one dimensional it is hard to judge. I like her. Clean fronted and looks like you could put some a bull on her with some shoulder and she would clean it up some. Perfect Timing is a full brother to Xray vision and is clean. That might not be a bad option at all. I am also using some retro sires this year and willl let you know how they turn out. Not sure if this helps?

Doc, That cow is out of my old 320 Bull

SKF, I'd use JPJ on her. He would bring her down a notch or two and add some muscle.

I threw away any radioactive semen we had left.  Wegot nothing but big birthweigts out of older cows, no hair and quite fien boned.

Ask your self one question is she a bit on the big side?  If so then you might want to try JPJ, if not then go another rout.  I have heard some good things about Ace of Diamonds and also SS Deadwood.

How about this guy
Good birthweights and easy calving.
Go to my we site to see some of his calves, both purebred and comercial

uluru I like your bull. Hers' a pic of a heifer calf she had today. The calf is only like 2hrs old in the picture so there not the best pictures because she was not real steady on her feet yet. She is out of a CF Fortune son.

final solution?

I sure like your cows pedigree on the dam's side.
You might want to consider Waukaru Goldmine 2109, Barry Jordon's sire.

If we get a chance I will take you up on your offer to visit you when we are in Clearwater this winter.

Many thanks.  Bob

We had one of the first Goldmine calves born, out of an IWF Magic daughter we got from Barry.  We kept the calf a bull and used him for a couple years.  We really liked how sound the calves were, and he even sired some look and a little hair.  We only sold him because we have such a small herd, we like to cycle our bulls every couple years.
