Smokin Bob

[showgirl15]

I was thinking about breeding to Smokin Bob but wanted to know what his birth weights are and if I would be safe breeding it too a second time cow. Thanks for any replies.

bws were fine from ones Ive seen. 70-85 pounds. just make sure the cow is Large Framed and really soft made

Mine have been in the 80-85 range , would use on second calvers with good management .

Hmm thats different than I expected sizzler… He looks like a bull that is super sound and would soften up the cow and add sourness to me but I haven't calved any out, still waiting to figure out what Im going to flush him to.

We have 2 smokin bob steers this type are going to fair. One is 50% shorthorn out of 2nd calf on shorthorn cow other is 25% shorthorn.  Both very easy births and cows bred back to him...

Oh I wasn't implying the calves weren't sound. They were very very sound calves. I meant softness in appearance. The cows I saw him used on was a BC lookout and a char cow. Both just good cows. The calves came out thick but really harder made calves.and really knocked the legs off the cows who were moderate cows to begin with. I think the bull will work for sure but I think you have to use him on a bigger made real soft type cow. He improved soundness calves had a shot of belly as well

My Dad's philosophy, and I don't disagree, if you really like a bull, why don't you breed cows similar to his dam to the bull's sire.  In this case, why not use Smilin Bob (1CM P 346671) on Charolais cross cattle?  Instead of diluting the gene's you're trying to get something very similar in phenotype.  Just asking.

This is a two-day old Smokin Bob x Irish Whiskey/High Valley 4C6 Ambush.  The dam is about 1800# cow and calf is 85-90 lbs.  It was up and nursing in about 45 minutes, which is quite a bit slower than the Angus calves, but is healthy and very active.

Anymore info on what he is working on?

I used him on this Dr who x pb char cow and was really happy with the calf. Her best one to date . I flushed her back that way in fact and have a few more coming next spring. The hfr calf was pictured today for a sale on Oct 6, I'll post her pic when I get it back.

Nice cow! I bet she could make any sire look good!

I have had very good luck with Smoking Bob.  Mine are clubby but sound.  I have used him on moderate framed cows and the calves are good but I think he would work on larger framed cows also.  Just make sure they are good cows!

Here is the sale pic of the smokin Bob hfr out of the dr who/char cow.
