What are your top 3 clubby bulls?

[dimebag]

Here my top three and they are based soley on how they have worked on my cows this year:

Walks Alone--He moderates frame, adds style and muscle, great hair, calves easy out of cows. 

Uno Mas--He moderates frame, adds bone and muscle, really powerful calves, great dispositions, gives you some smokes, larger calves but not no pulls out of cows.  Like a smokey version of Heatwave.

No Apologies--Really glad I sampled this one.  Moderates frame, adds body, muscle and correctness..  Calves easy.  Used on heifers and will use again. 

Semen quality has been great on all three of these bulls.  I have been dissapointed with the semen quality on another popular clubby bull but won't mention his name since it could just be a stroke of luck.

I would really like to see some pics of your No Apologies calves , thinking about doing some ET work with him and one of my best cows .

Who owns no apologies I cant remember?

 

[Bulldaddy]

No Apologies is owned by Bradley Hale.  I have attached a photo of one of the No Apologies calves .  He is an August calf out of an Ali X Heatwave cow.

Thanks PTR , that's a really nice calf !

 

[Gargan]

so No Apologies is hfr safe?

 

[Bulldaddy]

He has worked on heifers for me but to be considered "heifer safe" we need to see a lot more calf reports before reaching that conclusion.  Since his sire, Tank, has been used successfully on heifers, and No Apologies  himself is out of a first calf heifer, I thought it was worth taking the chance.  Also, I select for maternal calving ease and like to challenge my cows to have bigger calves.  So, what works for me may not work for you.  The red bull calf in the photo weighed 68 lbs at birth.

I have always thought No Apologies looked like the perfect bull in his pictures but I have not heard many calf reports.  I could not get Kris Blacks web page to work.  But No Apologies is a Kris Black raised bull that Bradley Hale purchased if memory serves me right.  Is One and Only a a TH clean bull?

 

[vet tech]

correct, one and only is free.

 

[Bulldaddy]

Here is a link to a video of No Apologies.  Yes, he sold to Bradley Hale in Black's 2009 bull sale.  He was the Lot 7 bull. http://www.collinscattleservices.com/VIDEOS_FOR_ALL_SALES/KBlack_Videos_Bull_Sale_09/index.html

[/quote What has Salty Dog done for you?

 

[CAB]

I had a Salty Dog steer as my #1 pick @ Adamson's sale last Friday. He was out of an Impulse cow so perhaps may get a little bigger than what most are looking for, but talk about soft, deep, big boned, and had an easy feed look to him!! He was just strait out powerfull. There were other good Salty Dog calves there and I had to go back and do some research on the bull. I found that Harvey Cattle co. raised Salty Dog and found more calves out of the Dog and out of Kitty, the dam of Salty Dog. My first take on SD was too big, coarse, and may calve HARD. Does anyone know how he is calving please?

i asked someone who had a few the same question about calving ease since he had used him. apparently they are coming easier than expected.

 

[vet tech]

Salty dog scared me at the ohio beef expo. Yes he was thick and hairy but all four feet turned out.

 

[CAB]

Salty Dog was a bull that I thought that I would never have to look @ twice, but he is worth watching  IMO.

Monopoly, Uno Mas, Bojo (calving ease)

Calving ease for Bojo?

 

[Bulldaddy]

Monopoly, Uno Mas, Bojo (calving ease)

Calving ease on Bojo? Are you kidding me?

I thought maybe he meant calving ease for Bojo which I would agree with.  The Uno Mas calves I have been have been pretty big (100 lbs plus) on the bull calves.  I have had no pulls or trouble on cows but I agree with CAB--he's no calving ease or heifer bull.
