Shorthorn Sires

[CCCattleco5]

I am new to this shorthorn deal, but I have a calf and tryin to do my research on sires so when it comes time i will know who i want to breed her to.  She is a solution daughter and it seems to me that every sire out there is a trump, sonny, or solution son so give me some insight?

He's got some sonny in him, if I recall right, but he's pretty good and if you're looking for a good shorty this is one for sure.

there are alot of trump outcrosses out there...tm gus, jpj, gizmo, nitro, captain obvious  to name a few...and of course there are many more if you look north of the border!    jit can elaborate more on that...

i wouldn't call gus an outcross to trump. why outcross trump in the first place. linebreeding it seems to be working

did i miss the connection somewhere?

Showman,  ne I think that if you look at the pedigree of TM Gus 36S you will find that he actually is an outcross to Trump. If you can find the connection let me know, a lot of breeders are using him as an outcross sire and I donnot want sell him as something he is not.

Since you're talking about a heifer, I'd pay a lot of attention to birthweight (especially since she's a Solution).  Here's a photo of a bull that I think might work.  If you like his looks and think he'll complimetn your heifer, let me know and I'll give you more details.

Jake's Proud Jazz or TM Gus - the steer of ours you saw at the State Show was a JPJ

I am an Angus kid so after the recent problems with curly calf and waterhead, linebreeding is not what i want to do.

I wouldn't be that afraid of linebreeding Trump a little bit, there's no genetic defects there. If your heifer is easy fleshing, toss some more Trump or Sonny blood in there.  I like our bull, Hi-Vew's Red Diamond, but I'd wait until she's a cow as he's not quite proven as a heifer bull yet.

Well we have to add American Muscle to this mix!!!

His calves this year are darn good!  Averaging about 78 lbs...

Will have calf pics up after we get back from vacation

Trump goes back to Cunia. Cunia is clean of everthing except monkey mouth as I understand it. Not sure how the monkey mouth deal works.

I think linebreeding is good sometimes, but when overdone it leads to inbreeding and that's not what I want either

 

[afhm]

I am still and always will be a huge fan of the Double Stuff lines.  JPJ & Sin City would be good choices for the 1st calf.

maybe spastic pareisis as well. extremely low marbling epd with high accuracy as well.

Hey Lee, do you have any picture of any Wymore calves this year? I've been thinking about using him, and I love the Gizmo females, but I haven't seen all that many Wymore's.

Same here.  I would love to see some Wymore calves.
