Lincoln & Bandwagon look the best. They have more to their body than Revival appears to have. Good luck on the pair~

Lincoln. Keep in mind when raising heifers that masculine bulls produce feminine females.

Without seeing the females, agree from the pictures above.

Please, do yourself a favor and go look at the bulls.  Don't pick bulls off a picture.  You will be very surprised and you'll thank yourself later.  I wish there was an overall industry phenomenon that would have owners post video's online.  Semen companies do some of this.  Apparently many bulls "peak" at picture time.

I agree with the videos on the bulls. As far as seeing them I know the breeder of bandwagon. He is a first class guy and knowing him as well as I do I would say the bull probably looks better in person than in the picture. I agree with revival being a nickel shallow. I thought the same thing but thought maybe there was something there for him to sell for 160,000. Lincoln is the one I love. I've seen another pic and he looks just monsters boned. I figure if he's good enough for Griswold he's good enough for me. That family knows cattle. As far as being able to see them, I'm not in the location to.be able to go see them. I've seen some bandwagon.calves that look sharp. Has anybody seen any Lincoln calves?

Did you see Bandwagon's original picture?  Probably more representative than the Sneed picture. Sneed pics are usually not considered representative.  That being said.  All bulls have a place and will work in situations, some more places than others.
