True Grit

Has anyone saw this bull in person? im talking about the brown and white walks alone son. thanx for any input.

STERILE!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping you're kidding!  I was planning on using him. 

I would also like to know more on this bull. I think he would be great for makin a stout steer and adding hair,  but I don't know how his heifers would turn out with him looking so short in length.  I have a really long cow I am planning on matching him up with....hoping the calf will gain some maternal length.

yes, i was interested in using him to downsize a couple cows. I cant imagine they would be promoting a sterile bull..lol

As of yesterday he is at Dakota Sires. He is not sterile because he has collected some early on there, Daniel Willis has pregs coming next spring sire by True Grit. Its my understanding he took a break and went to Boysel's and is currently at Dakota Sires.

have u saw him in person or got any info from people who did see him in person? mainly about his soundness

yeh ive been wondering about him, i dont realy wana use him till i find out how he calves and how sound he is ???

im guessing hes not super sound, but just curious if he toes out and his shoulder structure.

Do you really think the semen companies sell sterile semen, come on seriously.

I liked the movie.

Structure wise he is fine from what I remember, I did not leave thinking he had major structure problems. He is super stout though thats for sure. He is a double carrier and will thicken them up in a hurry. Use him to downsize.

Saw him at Dakota Sires over Thanksgiving and he is very moderate and does have a lot of muscle shape but definitely straight on his rear legs with no flex to his hock. If you've got big framed cows with a lot of rear leg set, he might work. Don't know that he'll last, but he was freezing semen. 

What other bulls did you see at Dakota Sires?

As far as club calf bulls, there weren't many there. To tell the truth there really weren't many bulls there then, they were maybe a third full at that time. Jake's Proud Jazz was there, and I was surprised by how moderate he is. He is really well made and  functional for an older bull but probably only weighs about 1600 in his working clothes. There weren't any other clubby bulls that really caught my eye. There was a pretty good Upward son in the top barn and a good Red Angus bull in the main barn but I don't remember what he was. I saw Simple Math there several times last winter and this spring and thought a lot of him.
