Steer Planet - Show Steers and Club Calves Forum

I try to make it through the Iowa stud barns once or twice a year and am often left wondering if anyone actually looks at these bulls after their promotion pics. While some big names are always down right disappointing, there are always a couple lesser or non promoted bulls who look really good that you never end up hearing anything about.

Times have sure changed, too. I think back to the 1990s when you'd run into a highly promoted cubby bull out on lease in some obscure pasture and be blown away. Now you often have to ask how old they are because you're eyes can't believe they're a "mature" bull.

Mature bull pic to keep the thread rolling...

He's a Bonanza son that appears to be putting some pretty functional daughters in the herd. I've used him to create some half sib x half sib matings to wind up some pedigrees and so far things look to be working well.

Keep the thread goin.......

Thanks 

Few more pics

This is the first bull I've owned and bought him last year to sweep up after AI. Just thought I'd throw him into the thread when I had a mature pic. He's 32 months. Think he's grown well, although he isn't tall by Irish standards. He is standing a bit funny but he wasn't for moving. Bred from Sprys Patents Ace and an Irish bred cow (from a bull, Bushypark Enda 4th).

New herd sire, Saskvalley Editor 75E

This guy has served us well he's 6 1/2 in this picture and still getting it done like a 2 year old.  Throws good heifers and pretty decent steers with some performance to him.  He's a Sooner out of Wisnefski's 2012 Reserve Champion Maine at Denver.  Disposition is an A+, still can walk up to him, throw on a halter and load him, but is an aggressive breeder.
