Crestdale super flag

I have a chance to get some semen on this bull. How good were his calves would they still be good today?

My recollection is that he would add some fleshing ability, but lacked a little muscle.  JIT could add a lot more information.

I sent you a PM as well. Can you find out which Crestdale Super Flag bull you are talking about? There were several of them. I don't remember any semen from Crestdale Super Flag 14G ( the bull that sold for $41,500 in the 1977 Regina Bull Sale) ever going to the US. There was another very good Crestdale Super Flag bull that sold in that sale to Montana, at around $8000- $9000 and I am expecting he is the bull you are asking about. ( If my memory is correct he was Crestdale Super Flag 16G). His dam was a dual purpose cow and a very good cow! 
Both these bulls had tremendous mothers, but they were completely different pedigrees.

I remember taking a well known American Shorthorn breeder to see the Crestdale herd in 1978, and he was so impressed that he offered the Schulhauser's $10,000 each for 2 females in their herd. That was a pile of money in those days, but they turned down his offer. As we left their farm, the American breeder said that he thought he had just seen 4 cows that would be in the top ten cows he had ever seen.

I will always remember the 1977 Regina Bull Sale where the Schulhauser's sold 4 Crestdale Super Flag bulls. At that time this sale was the largest bull sale in the world and about 1800 bulls were sold over a week. Breed shows and sales every day from early morning to late evening. There were over 1000 Polled Hereford two year old bulls alone!  With all these numbers, the 4 Super Flag sons were the talk of the barns. There was a crowd around their stall all day long and as word got out about these bulls, cattlemen from many breeds were even flying in to see them. When the Shorthorn sale started, the large sale ring was overflowing with people, and when the bidding started, there were at least 10 bidders past $20,000. As the bidding approached $40,000, there was still 4 bidders and 3 of them were large breeders of Polled Hereford and Angus. The winning bid at $41,500 was made by 3 Saskatchewan Shorthorn breeders who had partnered to try and buy him. The runner up bidder was Beartooth Ranch from Montana.
If you can find out which bull you are referring to, I can give you more information.
