Wanted to share some pictures of the kind of quality Mercedes Benz is throwing. His calves have come easy as far as calving, and we now after calving out over 50 ourselves would recomend him as a calving ease sire. We feel his calves have a real cool look, square hips, good bone and that Killer show ring look we all desire.Steers out of benz have been just as impressive with Jockey's claiming Benz calves already. Dont miss out on him next year. Everyone I have visited with about the calves that they have out of Benz tell me they only have one regret!!! They wish they would have doubled the amount of cows bred to him. Feel free to call with any questions.

Zac the first pic is out of a mossy oak heifer making her a maintainer. The other is out of a Total Package heifer making her a high Maine. Yes both will be avaliable in the fall in Bushy Park's Fall sale around mid oct.

Hey Eric, I was going to give  you  a call about Mercedes Benz. Glad you posted pictures, they look really good.
Eric Walker is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. We were stalled right across from him at The Iowa State Fair last year, so we got to watch the Bushy Park guys fit his heifers. Fun!!!
We will be getting ahold of you Eric, take care, Ann Low, Double A Club Calves, Northwood, Iowa

JALLEN, He has worked real well on Clubbies according to reports from Iowa. We used him on Commercial Angus, Sim Solutions, High Maines, and Maintainers. Considering what the Mothers brought to the table, he improved all of them. I have a high Maine Bull that I will picture soon, that I believe is very special. May promote him

Ann, You are way too nice. I always enjoy visiting with you guys. I hope that great lil steer that you had at Iowa is doing well. Tell Arney ( probally spelled it wrong) Hello and we will see you in Iowa.

Mark, Benz was the most consistent bull we used this spring out of about 12 AI sires. Seems every calf has that cool look!!!

Jill, yes it is the Walkers from Arkansas. Benz is a high Maine. He is 75%. how is the hereford world? Hope to see y'all in Indy.

Herefordfootball, Both owners will be glad to ship semen, or SEK and Genex both have him. Working on some other dealers to pick him up.

Appreciate the kind comments about Benz. We have been floored by the quality of the calves and have already put in over 80 straws in first calf heifers for next year.

One other note on Benz, We own his flush sister, and Brian Goetteomeller owns the other. I tell you both of us would testify that we have never seen a more beautiful udder on a first calf Heifer. Especially a Maine. This excites me because I would think that Maternal trait must run in Benz's veins as well.

wscc - any plans for sexed semen?

We are having it made as we speak!!!!
Is Genex doing the GenChoice sexed semen for you, or are you doing it privately??
Yes Genex is doing the sexed semen for us. Should be avaliable soon in small supply, so if your interested you might better order early through owners.

We have had over 40 calves to date. We have only got white on two calves. One was a Sim cow that was really marked up herself. The other was out of a half Simmy cow and her calf only has a small splash of white on her navel. Most have been Jet Black and hairy.
