I was simply looking for some ideas as to whom I should use to breed this Dirty Harry x Heat Seeker x Meyer 8 heifer to.  If all goes as planned (which it rarely does), she will be entering our donor program in the future.  This is a picture of her when she was 7 months old; she has continued to grow very nicely.  If I had to change her, I would extend her through her front end and add a shot more bone; however, she is quite adequately made in this respect. 

I was thinking of breeding her to Mercedes Benz, the new Ali x Dr. Who bull. 

Any other suggestions?  Maine or Clubby ...

Thank you for your assistance.

That' s a very nice heifer you've got there.  I think she will work with a variety of different bulls.  If your looking for extension in her front end I'd try Who Made Who or something along those lines, or you may just want to go with a calving ease angus bull to help you sleep better at night since she is a future donor for you.

I don't know if the golden child would work? I would try something clubby though, but make sure it has a low birth weight since she is in your future donor program.

I agree with mark on this one... Benz might do some sweet things on her... as for a calving ease bull who'll extend her in her front... I also like the idea of I80.

Now i don't know if you care about the color of the calf or not, but personally I think this heifer would be incredible if she had a touch more center body.....she might have it, it is just kinda hard to tell form the profile.  If you care about the calves staying black, then would suggest Copyright..... other wise I think a male or female offspring  mate of her with Felony, would be pretty extraordinary.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to this thread; I appreciate all the responses and breeding suggestions.  I look forward to hearing more ideas as to what bulls would possibly click with her.

Just a word on I-80, he is SMALL. Phil even said he didn't know if he'd work on anything because he's so small.

Don't waste your time. He obviously doesn't work on powerhouse cows, in my experience anyway.

Yeah, She was good. But even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in while.

I would breed your Dirty Harry heifer to Total Solution or WMW

Or maybe he just didn't work on your heifer. I've seen a few good ones here in kansas, so I know there's gotta be some good ones else where.
