Who is the best bull to use on "Clubby Type Cows" to make Club Calves?

I Believe would be my first choice but is a carrier. Middle man is a really good bull that I saw this spring. Broker works well also to produce some top females. Also some other good bulls already mentioned. Good luck

How about "Rumor Mill"?  What is his frame size and growth?

I'm using some maternal made this year. He is a bit expensive but looks to be pretty consistent.  I'm hoping for some replacement heifers.

I have two Maternal Made calves this year. 

A steer calf that is dirty fronted (and his dam is pretty good fronted) and not put together well.  However, he is thick topped, thick quartered and deep, and big boned. 

The heifer is very good everywhere!  Out of a very good young, 3C Macho x Angus cow.  Top heifer calf this year by quite a bit! She is a standout!

Using more Maternal Made semen this year.

Thanks for all the input on my post!  It is very appreciated and has been most interesting.

The reason for my post was just not for myself, but for others as well.  I have visited with other cattlemen that have some of these "Clubby/More Terminal Type Cows".  While I totally understand the reason(s) for raising and owning a herd of "Maternal Bred Cows", the fact remains that this other type of cows exists and probably not soon to go away. 

I believe more people now understand the breeding of these Terminal Type cows and the ensuing issues and problems with them.  Many breeders have now gotten "away from" breeding these types of individuals.  From the observations and discussions I have had with other breeders, the number of cattlemen raising "Club Calves", has greatly reduced.  But, I digress and that would be a topic for another post.

In conclusion, let me say that IMHO...as long as we as breeders are raising "Show/Market Heifers", for high dollars, and are the "Terminal Type" and continue to win shows.  These same "projects" and "Terminal/Market Heifers" will continue to end up coming home to someones cow herd to make Momma Cows.  These same cows need a specific type of bull to be bred to that, as of yet (to my knowledge), while may be available, has not been "promoted" for such matings. Thanks!
