Cane code J4

Ampules of a bull named Edon.  I have no clue what he is.  I was told he was a maine bull but couldnt find anything in the registry on him.

Could be Eden, one of the early fullblood Maines imported.  You should be able to find him on the AMAA's website spelled Eden.  I think he was a heavy boned, rugged bull (from my recollection of the pictures I saw years ago) with a lot of white on hime.

there are two "edon's".

one is edon, who is touchdown and in thicker bulls like sooner and his sire limited edition on the bottom through limited editions dam, a standout cow.  sadly there are supposedly no pictures of her.  she was the first maine cow purchased by Mark Mueller of DMCC and produced a few bulls.

the other who is eden.

Actually, I think the J4 cane code is Touchdown.  He was Edon in France, but there was no Edon in North America...a database search will verify that.  You should look on the amps to see what they say.  If they have a 10 digit registration number, I, or anyone quick on the draw with a 1977 CMAA directory should be able to identify the bull for you.

If it is Eden, I am interested in the semen...If it is Touchdown, which I'm betting it is...put if in your Angus cows.
