Here are a couple more:
HC Jefferson 58Y is a Hillside Leader X CYT Maggie 9103. He is an April 2011 and presently weighs 1880 lbs.
HC Zantac 102Z is a Saskvalley Pioneer 126P X B Good Red Sue 1P. He is an ET late January yearling
The Jefferson bull looks like a good practical bull. Not as pretty as the yearlings in the sale, but solid performance and he looks like he's made right. Too bad US breeders don't think there are genetics that will work in the "real world" and still produce cattle with eye appeal and balance. Was he out of a 2 year old?
We took some more pictures of Jefferson yesterday, as the one I posted does not do him justice. Hopefully the new pictures will be better. Yes, he is out of a 2 year old that we got from Cyclone Trace and sired by Pure Solution. Jefferson had a 80 lb BW and was unassisted at birth. He is really wide based and packed full of meat. He is a very moderate framed tank.
We finished taking pictures of 25 bulls and 10 heifers for the Sun Country sale yesterday afternoon. Anyone who has never had a sale has no idea of how much work is involved, and the work is just starting!! Lots to do yet and it doesn't end when the sale is over. There is almost as much to do afterwards!
It has been a real blast watching the bulls develop through the winter. The past 5 years we have fed all our bulls at another location, but we decided to feed our own bulls this year. Quite frankly, I have really enjoyed this.
