Don't forget other Shorthorn bulls that fall into that category, as well:Elbee Leader aka "Gizmo", Einmor Marquis, GFS Creole, Byland Mission, GFS Red Cloud 7026, and my predictions for the next group of "sleepers"? A&T Captain Obvious and his sons, His sire aka "Dover", Coal Pit Creek Leader 6th, RS 034 & progeny ( including 329), ARSULU Osage, Derhorn Medicine Man.

The Charolais everyone missed out on was Baldridge Fastrack. Bluegrass will be the "grand Old Man" in a few years. Watch & see.

CO's sire isn't Dover.

Which of the bulls you listed, Gary, has the most growth?

I think the market will continue to push towards bulls that can covert high energy feedstuffs the most efficiently, while still having a high enough adg, as turnover rates become ever more important.

I have to agree with that statement as in our area the steers and slaughter heifers are going to be finished in a feedlot. They need to have performance and feed efficiency along with good carcass traits to make it work. We just added a junior herd sire that has a lot of performance and we are looking at another one.

What about this guy?  Id jump all over him today.  Id like a little squarer hip but man, the front 2/3 of the bull has got it goin on.

Bardolier 200 of GDAR

Deerpark Improver. If he was born today I don't think it would take 40 years to figure out he had TH.

so you're saying it's still worth using?  I have quite a bit in my tank, ALONG WITH A TON OF OTHER OLD BULLS
