I'm looking at Breathe Easy as a heifer bull this year. Are WAG Harrietta genetics that good?  Let me know what you think?

Never seen her on the hoof. Maybe close to a dozen sons marketed as AI sires? I would think Breathe Easy would be a nice female producer...

The cow is a good cow...

And the Benes boys do as well as anyone getting cattle prepped and ready....

Don't know much about the bull, but I bet he'll work.

We have two Hairietta daughters in production sired by 3-D. I love them both. I have seen lots of direct sons and daughters and they are very very consistent. Plus she is advertised like crazy....so the homework is done on her. I think she is a top 5 cow in the country tobe honest.

What gets me there are a ton of sons of Harrietta out there out of a multitude of sires, and they all seem to fizzle out fade away not too long after they are introduced.  I have good luck with Pac Man and Frank The Tank other than that all the others I tried were a flop.

She is as good as advertised!!   One of the top 4 cows in the country easily.

What are those top 4 or 5 cows?

Breathe Easy is either Trausch's #1 or #2 seller as he has proven himself as an easy calving bull with consistent quality and winners. Campbells in Ohio have what is likely the winningest crossbred heifer in Ohio this year out of Momma's Boy. Hairy's daughters are crossing really well on Heat Wave and his sons. Ask people like Kris Black how good the Frank the Tank daughters are with limited use. With a Hairy steer winning Reserve overall at Oklahoma Beef Expo. Heat Wave steers selling as high as $25,000 out of Hairy daughters. The long list of high sellers and winners out of Hairietta x Meyer, Itrish Whiskey, Ali and other sires daughters is at National shows like Kansas City and many state fairs. Think about this, the first TH positive son promoted nationally was Gambler the Monopoly son who just has calves hitting the ground now. It could be interesting to see a TH positive son of Hairietta get heavily used, could her consistency of quality on a National level breed through for a TH positive son, sure be interesting to try.

I sure like my daughters and son. My Garten 3D daughters are as hairy as any th carrier you will find. I have a son by Ali that we will use as a clean up bull this year that I really really like.I hear more and more good things about Frank the Tank all the time. Trausch's blog has a 5 year old picture of him they recently posted...
