Hmmmm.... I have semen off 8 of these so called "Native " bulls in my tanks. I will have to check as I probably have a few others as well. Some of these bulls would be popular today... some others weren't real popular in their day... or any other day. I think if you are going to go this route in your breeding program, you had better study your lessons. I still have a fair pile of Four Point Major semen on hand. I sold 55 doses lat year and still have about 50 more.
Four Point Major walked our pastures as a 12 year old bull and he moved so well, that you had to trot once in awhile to keep up with him. He was a bull that came in from pasture looking better than when he went to pasture. He still weighed over 2600 lb as a 12 year old bull, and probably weighed in excess of 2700 when in his prime. His daughters were much better than his sons. His daughters were tremendous females. For some reason, he never produced any sons that matched him in quality. I have a couple of big framed tanks of cows that I am thinking of flushing to him. One of these cows weighs over 2200 lb in pasture condition and has not seen grain since she was a yearling heifer. I think two people could sleep on her back, she is so thick.
I had a Leader 21st heifer calf on Feb 2nd.... 80 lb... dark roan and a real sweetheart. I am waiting for two full sibs to arrive any day. I am hoping for at least one bull calf. I used my last leader 21st semen on a flush two weeks ago and got 10 grade 1 embryos... so i am hoping we can have some luck in getting several more pregnancies .
I am familiar with all the bulls Roy has shown on his website so if anyone wants some info on any of them, please drop me a note.
