Walks Alone, BIM and MAB

[Buck]

Which of these three bulls is the easiest calving or, is there a significant difference?

 

[Gargan]

in my crop, mab came the smallest, then bim, then wa

 

[Buck]

Would you consider using him on 2nd calvers?

 

[Gargan]

i did, i used mab on a 734 x 6807 and the calf was 75#. he was her 2nd calf. shes getting bred back the same way this year also.

Thanks Gargan for the feedback. I can't believe that out of 278 views only one person has had any experience with these three bulls. I am sold on the "Rodgers Bull Battery". I am just trying to decide which bulls to match up with our cow herd based upon age and type. Thanks again!

There are some really nice walks alone calves at Kevin Dennistons... we didn't have any wrecks but I don't know if he had to assist any of them

we will give them  an hour or two but after that I'd rather go home and watch the ball game

I know a few people using WA on pb angus 2nd calvers w/ real good success.

I've now had 3 Walks Alone's out of PB Angus...all under 85 Lbs BW.

I would just pick up the phone and call Wade.  Tell him what you have for cows, what their level of condition is, and what you are trying to accomplish.

He will answer the phone, and he will tell you the truth.  The last thing he wants is for you to have a "train wreck" with his bulls.  If anyone knows, he does.

Search Otto Show Cattle on facebook. They post a ton of pictures of really cool MAB calves and I'm assuming that they either bred him or own an interest in him.

I have had over 30 Walks Alone Calves with absolutely no calving problems.  About 10 were second calvers. Never used BIM or MAB but plan to use MAB this fall after seeing some of his calves.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I never have any problems making breeding decisions with mature cows or heifers. As a matter of fact that is the fun part to me. I just usually struggle with those "Tweeners".
