Shorthorn cow breeding suggestions

[erbarrett12]

I have a three year old shorthorn cow that I will be breeding for her third calf soon. I am looking to breed her to a club calf bull who is stout and throws a good amount of hair. I am thinking about using Unstoppable, any other suggestions? I will try to include a picture of her below, and sorry if it isn't great quality.

How is she bred ? Is she genetic condition free ?

I think they meant "what is her pedigree?", not how do you breed her.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking straight. She is a HAHN Lot One x Ace of Diamonds

She doesnt look too big framed, so I would look to stay away from the extremely small scaled ones. I know... They are all dinks. Fu Man Chu should keep her scale and has been popular of late, Control Freak has the power, hair and muscle you are looking for and frame should be good there as well.

I think her neck is too big for unstoppable.  Id try here i am on her.

Any other suggestions that would keep her frame size and throw a good bit of hair?

Is a black hide a requirement?

If a red bull is OK then I would consider Circle Cee Fired Up: http://slackfarmscattle.com/sires.html.  He is at the bottom of the page. he will do what you want and  more.  A dark red charo,,ais will maintain the color pattern of the cow.
