Northern Legend 3N would be the easy winner for me. He set the bar high for thickness, disposition, and fleshing ability, while being my first bull in the Shorthorn business. He has also been a door opener to getting to know some great people both in North America and Australia as well.

Have a nice Red cow from Mandalong Super Flag carrying the service of Hatfield Governor.
Most of the females of Northern...
an Irish Mist Grandson, through his Sire Poplar Park Mist 4R. My guess is JT Titan, a bull who is stacked in a lot of Saskatchewan, and Manitoba pedigreed Shorthorns.
Most of you on SP will have more calves born before lunch than I will have in an entire season. All of the cows that I have currently are 99% +. As AJ and JIT have mentioned, some of mine have some Irish, Australian, and Enticer. When I began gathering up a few Shorthorn cows my goal was to...
