Some of the best calves I seen last year were by lsp but not sure what he is like for calving. Plenty more out there but he is one that stands out to me. Lgl supposed to be very good for muscle too and I think domino was good too back in the day and there is still a good bit of his breeding about. Saying all that there are people a lot more knowledgeable than me on the subject on here.

Chose a bull with domino or CF52

Bulls breeding well at the minute are Cloverfield Excellent, Crossmolina Euro, Enfield Plexus all doing a mighty job commercially

I think CH x Ba is a great cross. Our older bull off Newlook, was a big long bull and he left super calves of the Bax cows. He wasn't easy calved though. The next bull was a smaller, shorter, but thicher bull by Alcazar. He is leaving lovely calves, easy calved, very wide and shapey.
I'd tend to go for smaller thicker type bull, with a bit of calving ease for Ba cows.
Ultimately it comes down to what type of cattle you are hoping to breed. Pity I don't have one for sale!

Bull were running now is a blonde aswell when there good there very good but the average one is hard enough to get over the line money wise,heifers are good,great length and just enough muscle,but I've see a few Ai blonde bulls used on charolais heifers and the seem to be a great cross,

LGL is the top terminal sire in the country.
And there's plenty of bulls off him fOr sale. So they should be reasonable enough.
