American Pride

Im sorry there wont be any pics up online this year. I just moved 2 hours away from the farm for my first year in college and i was the one who did all the rinsing and picturing. The only way to see them is to go out to the farm.

Awesome Bull!!!!!  I'd kill for some pics of calves. Does his calves have a short neck like him, are they as clean fronted? And of course: will he work on heifers??  ???

your the only one that bred to him? If they arent getting pictured does to sell does that mean they arent very good and showy?

I haven't seen much out of him yet. Only 6 calves registered right now.  I would expect Janssen's have some on the ground.

Wanting to use JF American Pride on a Purebred Red, white faced Simmi Cow.  He's got a lot of calves out there now.  Curious when crossing these two what color I will get?

I used him on my best red whiteface Simmi cow and got a solid black bull out of the first mating and a set of bull twins (one all black, one black whiteface) out of the second mating. This particular cow tends to throw white bellies and hooves, none of these had either. Very impressive calves, I don't have pictures currently but I can dig around if you're interested. I am pretty picky when it comes to style and capacity and all of my AP's have fit the bill perfectly. Kept every single heifer and have 3 working herd bulls out of him. Never missed for any of the animals I used him on. Cleans up fronts in my opinion. Only issue I have had were the attitudes on a few, eventually got them to calm down but it took a little longer than my others, it was worth it for how good they look. Definitely one that'll be in my tank.

I believe he is homozygous black.

We have a March calf by him, out of our calmest cow. That calf is NUTS! We will really have to work the heifer down, but the two times we have put her on halter she would take both her back and front feet, while on the halter, and try to stomp you into the ground. I have NEVER seen a calf do the acrobats that she attempts to get away... head bucking, feet stomping, slobber throwing, bawling little snot!
