Depends on location. Go into your -profile and at least put in your state. But answer will be Angus for anywhere, or Brangus for most places in US.

Ive had good luck with Oklahoma, SAV Rainfall and Musgrave Stunner.

DB Iconic and GAR Ashland are two I have used recently on heifers and had no problems. They have a bit of growth as well.

LOTS of PB Simmental bulls for heifer calving. Besides depending on your location, WHAT are the heifers and what weight are they?

I bred most of my heifers this past year with 2XL Bronc 8153 and CAR Hobson G733. I have used both before with good results

They are angus heifers and I'm in TN.

Yes, you told us they were Angus heifers. Some refer to Angus x dairy as "Angus".
How old? What do they weigh? Some people refer to 10 month old as "heifers" - some call 2 year olds never bred "heifers". Some 10 month olds are as big as a 2 year old. We deal with LOTS of different environments, managements and descriptions.
Your statements are too vague to give you much advice.

Angus bulls for angus heifers.
Because heterosis from crossbreeding increases birth weights, so recommend waiting with crossbreeding until after their first calf.

RHCC Venture Capital bull we raised has done a great job on some big heifer projects. Consistent size and come out with vigor.

Do you think Deer Valley Growth Fund will be ok on heifers?

 

[jscunn]

yes growth fund will work fine on heifers. i would not breed him to smaller framed heifers, they can get too small.. on the right sized heifer they are pretty good

There is a former member here that breeds some very good easy calving Simmental heifer bulls. He is located in Ky if you want his contact information, let me know.

I would find something with a little lower BW EPD for heifers. That's just me.

IMO from my experience and that of fellow breeders I know I would be careful using Growth Fund on heifers. We have used a son EXAR Stock Fund and so far haven't pulled a calf. I pay no attention to BW EPD's when selecting a bull too use on heifers. I prefer a bull has 1-2 calf crops to evaluate. I look at type and actual BW. I want a calf too weigh at least 70 lbs at birth on a heifer. Type is a critical factor. If a calf is long and smooth our heifers will have a 90 lb calf with no issues. I've had to pull short, blocky 70 lb calves. There are other sons working well on heifers. I also used Dow Jones last year. May use CFI Payout on Stock Fund daughters.
