Immortal

How are the calves looking?

Had a cattlemen an steer buyer from Texas that thought he was putting out the most good calves that he liked.  He thought they had a little more length an thickness to them than some other sires  out of Heat Wave .....

Was he used on a variety of cow types? What has he seemed to click best with?

he will make em low to the ground and super stout on all varieties of cows.  Dont know bout the length of body, but there soft made and barrell bellied, with the needed eye appeal in this market.

i liked the way he looked at the OBE when i saw him. plenty stout, not a real long bodied bull but he had enough. big topped and boned.

We have an Immortal steer that we will be showing this year.  Stout, big boned, hairy, sound & pretty. 

Cool Buckeye, got any pics? Anyone?

I could not have been more disapointed with how he looked on display at OBE. He had sold so high at Holtkamp's and I had heard good things. IMO, he did not display well that March. Too course, rugged shouldered, turned out, giant jointed. HUGE bone and ass though. I would not have subjected a cow to that bull, but now I have seen several that I thought were really good cattle. Bigger softer bodied than the average Heatwave without sacrificing the bone and power like you do with something like Monopoly. Now I don't know what to think :-\

i didn't think he was course...  May use him next year after i see some out of him.

any new calf reports on Immortal.  I am on the list to try out Walks on Water, his brother...

Yeah he is a nice steer...but he also is huge shouldered and turns out pretty badly on the front. He DOES get around pretty well for how heavily muscled he is.  I don't know what I will think of him in 200 lbs, much less 350 lbs, but for right now he's a cool dude.

Anyone got some on the ground?
