Dvrom,

        Thank you for inquiring about Rumor Mill; we appreciate it.  We, along with the other owners, have been extremely pleased with the overall consistency Rumor Mill sired calved have shown.  They have come small (65-75 pounds), are smooth shouldered, possess good bone, have nicely designed tops with thickness, are wide-based, attractive, and good haired.  What has impressed us the most is how Rumor Mill has passed his own front end extension to his progeny.  He has been used on a variety of cows and different breeds of cows.  We feel he will click very nicely with those THC Monopoly, Heat Wave, and Sun Seeker cows, for he is THF and PHAF. We will optimistically continue to watch he and his offspring develop with time.  So far, we are quite happy with his calves.

        As soon as I can post some pictures of his calves, I will.  Rumor Mill is a Mercedes Benz x Irish Whiskey 5/8 Maine-Anjou owned with Blind Badger Ranch, Bob May, and Shea Geffert.

I'm not up to par on my maine deal... but would 5/8th's mated PB result in a PB showable calf?

Dvrom,

          This is a rear picture of a Rumor Mill x Boomer x Dirty Harry's dam heifer calf.  She would not let me take a profile picture; when this is accomplished, I will post a picture of that, too.  We have continued to hear very good reports about Rumor Mill sired calves.  Semen is available through the owners and most semen companies.  The other picture is of Rumor Mill, taken late winter when he was at Shea's place in WI.

Thanks again ...

LOOKIN GOOD ,THANKS FOR POSTING PICTURES ....

Thanks, Freddy, for the words of encouragement ... if he is used, we do believe people will be quite pleased with the results.

I will attempt to get more pictures of Rumor Mill sired calves posted in the future.  From what I hear, Blind Badger has some that look quite promising.

Thanks again,

Pat Wolfe
