Are you looking for bulls to make steers or replacement females?

Umm...probably steers...but it doesn't matter. Would like opinions on both!

Th and pha status?

I'd use a Charolais bull to be sure to avoid a catastrophe.

 

[LindseysMaine_Angus]

Not tested but either way I'd like a double clean bull. However, I believe that Eye Candy is TH+

Opinion on Firewater?

 

[LLBUX]

Very impressive bull.  Try to find the video on youtube.  He appears to be moderate in frame and super thick.

He has sire numerous National Champion purebred Charolais cattle.

I was thinking more of some of the Charolais cross bulls when I made my earlier suggestion.  BUT-

With Firewater, you can register as a composite charolais.

I have a similarly bred cow and plan to breed Firewater this summer.

Good luck.

Where can I see Yellow Repo Calf pics?

I like the Kris Black suggestions- Yellow Repo's video was impressive, I didnt use him but have used Troubadour in the past. I tried a son of Troubadour  called Yellowstone and like both calves very well. Yellowstone was a high seller  - impressive video as well. Both calves came early. The late August baby is  my profile photo. I used Yellowstone again and the Troubadour son I sold in 2011 is still covering club calf mamas. If you look at the Troubadour deal - his grandma calved at 16 years of age !

I would go maine.  Cerveza is my personal favorite but there are plenty others that would work.

I would recommend a Maine bull or a high Chi bull. We have some eye Candy's in production. We love them. Just had a who da ace X eye candy/Meyer. That is flat good.
