What sire to use for a shorthorn plus?

[RWSF]

I've got an SS Driven shorthorn plus heifer and I don't know who to breed her too, I am looking for a calving ease, longer necked and free moving bull. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would look into shrags Mercedes Benz son I think they call him Dakota blue.

If you ever see any of them in person, Man on a Mission is throwing some awesome heifers.  I think Winegardners may even be offering sexed on him.  We just bought one and she is super sound with enough thickness and has the Who da Man neck and attitude without being crazy.  We will be flushing to him this year.  Their top seller this year was a Man on a Mission x Monopoly

He is clean and birthweights have been in the 70's.  Good Breeding Bull, not a freakish flavor of the month.

Since you have a shorthorn plus heifer, you need either a shorthorn plus bull or a purebred bull. There are very few shorthorn plus bulls but the one , but I would go toward Crimson Tide. He is dead now, but his females make awesome cows and you can get a pretty good steer out of him too.

One that will give you a live calf unassisted and therefore a better chance that your heifer will breed back and stay off the dinner plate.

Any of these are clean , very reasonable BWS-and have proven great calves.

What about Capiche?

I believe they requested longer necked and free moving. So capiche  is out way to short coupled.  If going for more shorthand try looking into kolt Kane nitro, a&t renegade, deertrail buckshot, or sonny California.  If going clubby I-80 or for color uncle si.

I don't have any experience with him, but I would be hesitant about Sonny California on a heifer. I know his EPD's show -0.4 on BW, but he is a Sonny out of a Rodeo Drive granddaughter so it makes you wonder. I would definitely agree with Kane Nitro , safe on heifers with marketable progeny of either sex.
