Texas Twister

Thinkin real hard about using this bull. I was wondering some background information on him. Where'd he come from? Who bred to get him? I looked online and found birthweight info and all that, but the two questions I have asked are questions I take into consideration when breeding. Thanks!

Just wondering this so I can possibly go back through some genetics

I was interested in the bull as well then I leared that his sire has killed cows due to large birthweights.

I've got a few Texas Twister calves on the ground and they all came easy.  First one was a 90 pound red bull calf and the second and third are a set of twins weighing 45 and 60.  I've got a few more cows bred to him rigth now and one is 6 days over due so we will see how big this calf is but I'm not to worried based on the calves I have on the ground.  Single is stout, chunky, and hairy, twins look good but they are a little smaller and only 6 days old so we will see how they turn out.

Elliot Cattle Company bred him. Call them.

His sire is Heat Wave.  Did you think it was something different?

I am going to give you some Texas Twister info.  I have only had 1 calf so far.  2 days overdue out of a purebred roan shorthorn cow that had a solid red 65 pound red angus sired calf last year.  This Texas Twister weighed 97 and is red with a little roan in it, a white belly, white up its rear, white tail and a wide white stripe down its back.  This sob would classify pinzgauer!!!  I looked closer at the picture of the bull himself and he has a white tail and white up onto his tailhead, just didnt know that heatwaves great-grand dam was a purebred pinzgauer.  When I get pictures the ugly calf contest is a done deal, he wins hands down!

is that right? i didnt know that. or are you being sarcastic about the heatwave great grandam

Showstopper, my young and incredibly gulible buddy, I am totally being sarcastic about heatwaves grand-dam being pinzgauer. But it is damn funny, don't you think?? ;D

yeah it is funny! damn i had a pinzgauer heifer that we kept and i was hoping there was a chance she could amount to something other than bringing contract calves. got my hopes up  (lol)

Sorry to get your hopes up showstopper.  Maybe you should just buy this texas twister son thats marked like a pinz and breed him to your heifer, or better yet flush her to him and dominate the highly competitive Pinzgauer show circuit! (lol)

Anyone know where twister is at Stud?
