Royal Affair

Has anyone on here seen this bull. Love the way he is bred. Not wild about $50.00 for semen, but am curious what others think.

I saw him at Silvertown's sale. He was top seller. He was in Louisville also but I'm not sure how he placed. I thought he was massively thick and heavy muscled, but carried plenty of shoulder also. It comes with the territory so that's something you will need to decide. Pretty fancy and clean made also. There was a maternal brother that sold also, out of Onyx and Optimus Prime. Sloup's bought him and he's featured on their website. His name is STF Lock Out. http://sloupsimmentals.com/index.html

So you're cheap?This is probably how the breeders make sure he gets bred to better than just run of the mill cows.

I guess it is a good marketing tactic, but I have seen several bulls at stud that are syndicated or have a premium price tag on semen that I wasn't exactlyblown away by, thus I am skeptical. That's why I was wanting to get opinions from people that may have actually seen the bull. From the response in the thread I am leaning towards giving him a try, but there are a lot of other proven bulls that are cheaper. Decisions...decisions.
