I'm interested in buying a few straws of him. Does anyone know if there is some available?
Thanks for any info.

Thanks Grant for the lead, and for your thoughts!justintime said:Give Shadybrook a call. I am pretty sure they had Buckshot semen for sale in the US a couple years ago.
Buckshot is a bull that certainly was way ahead of his time. He would be one of the hottest sires around if he was alive today. Some of my favorites females at Shadybrook are Buckshot daughters.

He have enough middle for you? I'd bet he turned out quite a bit bigger than 5.9.
Grant- Yes, exactly what Mike told me. Only he didnt take credit for the purchase? It was in 2000 not 2002 we saw buckshot in person.... pen with other bulls and a definate difference is frame and rib. I dont care for the photo, it matches the "era" as nearly all of the bulls photoed like this? I marked every buckshot daughter in the sale, all looked better in person then the catalog photos. Ryan you'll have to use Shadybrook Scotty - nate bought all of the Buckshot semenjustintime said:-XBAR- said:nate53 said:The shorty heifer thread! ;D http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/the-big-show/shorty-hf-bulls/585/-XBAR- said:Any photo of Buckshot himself?

I do not like this picture of Buckshot and I know there is a much better one of him, but I haven't found it yet. I will keep looking.
Buckshot was criticized for being too small framed when Mike Dugdale sent him to Shadybrook. He was moderate framed and was thick and had lots and lots of guts to him. He was years ahead of his time. Even today, when I go through the cow herd at Shadybrook, I can usually tell which females have Buckshot in their pedigree. He stamped them with more thickness and capacity. I think he would certainly be a bull that would be very popular if he was walking today.

The few people that I have asked about him (including manager at Shadybrook) has assured me he had lots of rib. I initially thought he would be bigger framed, given his growth, and the way he looked in the pic. But from the people that actually saw him, he was not large framed. Guess I will find out eventually?-XBAR- said:nate53 said:The shorty heifer thread! ;D http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/the-big-show/shorty-hf-bulls/585/-XBAR- said:Any photo of Buckshot himself?

Endless Meadows said:She looks like I should be using more of Buckshot AI. She has been a very good heifer so far. Grew like crazy and then stopped at the right size. She's, I would guess, 5-6 frame and weighs about 1100 lbs. She was out of a VERY good Brass daughter that started with one of our best cow lines. Her breeding is: Buckshot X Brass X Gold Exchange X GB Dazzler 120. The head scratcher of it is that her papers only say 13/16ths (new association rules). I should be able to tell you even more in about a month when her Bonanza AI calf is due.
