Hello,

I was able to go through the Denver bulls and there was a lot of good stuff there. My partner and I were actually looking for a really great PB simmental bull. I looked through every pen and was impressed by the quality. However, I'm pretty particular about foot and leg quality and overall soundness. I happened upon Schaake Farms and Scott helped me out a bunch. I realize this is self-serving but wanted to share the photos of the bull we just bought from there at Denver and his full sister. I was also really impressed with Kearns but wasn't able to see all of those bulls walk out so I didn't get to evaluate completely.

Thank you. Like I said, lots of nice cattle I just really got along with this guy. Helps to buy from good people too. His ASA # is 3332818. He is a TL Bottomline out of a HOC Broker cow. Not the best numbers in the world but super good phenotype.

How's he move out? I love Bottomlines look and pedigree but his video shows his front being kinda straight and short strided.

Specifically looking for a bull that will add frame score

He is extremely sound. That's why I like him. He's good hipped and really cool fronted buy I'm really particular about feet and legs and structural soundness and he was the best one I found. As far as frame I don't know. I think he will add frame as he is only an April baby but I couldn't tell you for sure yet.

Nice purchase Buckeye! She comes from a top notch operation too. I visited Maple Leaf farms a few years ago, great place. What are your plans for her?

She is as she appears in the picture,,, clean front,  soft soggy middle... and great disposition.  She will get a shot in the show ring... we have an abundance of heifers in the line up this year so going to have to pick and choose which heifers we take to what shows
