What Maine bull would you use on this cow ?

[jd720]

I`m trying to decide what Maine bull to use on this cow next. She is a New Design 878 out of a Hustler X Draft Pick cow and she is registered as a Maintainer. I really want to use a Th. and Pha. free bull and hope for another heifer. The bulls I`m considering  now are I-80, The Maine Man and Thriller but am open to suggestions. I will try to upload a picture of the cow and a picture of her first calf she had out of my herd bull who is a Sonny son. Keep in mind this will only be her second calf and I want to breed with hopes of another heifer. I think she needs bred to something that will square up her hip and add some good hair. Thanks

Like the idea of I 80 on her. Should do what you want it to,except guarentee you a heifer lol

The calf on the right is a thriller and the one on the left is a dh2.  We like our calves out of both and they are both clean bulls.

i would say either thriller or I-80

2 other bulls I would consider: 1- Predator- seen some really nice calves by him. 2- Hard Whiskey- damn impressive bull, stout,sound, and hairy. Don't know how he would calve though I do think Predator's are pretty easy. Good luck looks like a nice cow.

I thought about Hard Whiskey also but he doesn`t seem to be available yet at least not through ABS I don`t know if he`s producing yet or just not enough to send to the distributors. From the looks of him he will be one to watch.

Thriller or I-80
