New herd bull

Fieser's Wesley, just got him home last week.  This photo was taken at Dean's just before leaving Kansas.  Looking forward to using him along  with Zulu this summer. 

I like him, what is his breeding?

He looks great.  Good to see Dean is still making the right kind.  How's he bred?

Tremendous depth and lots of capacity. He also has a very unique pedigree. Is that a map of North and South America on his side?

Theres a white hiefer roaming around up there in Iowa that would sure work with him-pedigree and phenotype-wise. O0

Nice looking bull with and interesting pedigree, bringing some ArSuLu ,K-Kim and Elbee breeding in. I see he also carries a cross of your Oakview Two Plus Two bull (thumbsup)

His left side is actually a map of the Louisiana Purchase.  It was much larger than just North and South Dakota.  The right side is merely a map of the Badlands, much less white.  A little chrome never hurt anybody!

Oakview 2 + 2 was a bull I raised several years ago when I was still in my "experimental" stage.  Remember Me, Leader Plus, Cunia, there were lots of ingredients in his recipe.  I sold him to Dean as a calf and Tony Shultz and I bought him back about 5 or 6 years later.  Little Cedar sold a daughter for a nice five figure price in their sale a few years ago.  Dean used the heck out of 2 + 2 and several of his herd sires over the years were sons or grandsons.  I raised the bull, but I will admit that he was not one of my favorites.  I never had a calf sired by him.  Several people have done quite well with offspring, though.  Shows what I know!  By the way, his ASA pedigree shows DSH.  Wesley is TH, PHA, and DS free.   

I like the bull, it's a "dick braman" kinda color for sure ! His phenotype is ideal, BW is high but . .. how did he test DSF if his dam has DSH in both the top and bottom of pedigree? 

Evidently he is far enough away from DSH that their DSC offspring didn't include that gene when they passed on the others.  Very fortunate.  I know that Two Plus Two was getting around pretty good at least as an 8 year old.  I don't know how many years he lasted after that.  Even though he apparently tested DSH, I don't know of any physically defective calves.  Dean used several sons, grandsons, etc., and I am not aware of any defective calves going back to him in his herd.  I have a few calfhood photos of Two Plus Two that show him to be sound, as much as you can tell from a photo.  He had a good hoof, and had good flex, although he was a little straight on his back legs for me.  My only complaint with him was that he just didn't have enough grow in him.  He was born a day two apart from a Jam's Uh-Huh bull calf and there was at least 200 pounds difference in weaning weights.  Two Plus Two was not starved by a poor milking dam, either.  He just didn't have a lot of gas.  I don't know too much about the Ruby Pooh bull, other than he was loaded with muscle. 

I remember pictures of Ruby Pooh-He went back to Irish Magic, and Elbee breeding I believe-He was really stout-and showed the maine in the woodpile. O0

I like him a lot, there's a lot of bull there!!
