There were several bulls that had the name "Doc" can you give an idea of what breed? There was just a few short years ago Doc Holiday which was shorthorn/clubby.

Wade sold his share I thought, but don't know 100%. Jeff Maas owns most of him now. He has a site on showsteers.com.

Jeff Maas and Lonny Sievers own him now.  Sievers had a nice set last year on bred heifers.  attached pdf flyer.
I have him bred to my clubby heifers this year.  will start this weekend.  He is moderate, big middled and correctly made.  stout for his pedigree and looks to maintain hair.  I don't know if a tom cat is a surefire calving ease deal on HW daughters but this guy is as close as they come while still maintaining some quality.

The Doc I know was a white Shorthorn bull called Weston Surprise 14th and used in the Mcmartin Herd in Minn.during the 70'S.I understand a group of Shorthorn breeders are expecting some embryo calves sired by him this spring.

  Sorry, had trouble getting logged on. Thanks to all my friends for letting me know about the interest on Doc.  He is out of an OCC Doctor son, and a 3/4 angus x chi-siimi cow. So far this year i am hearing of no problems with his calving. Ocasionally there might be a bull calf that you will have to get started, but generally once you get the head out your good. I custom bred 18 heifers for my neighbor, that will start around the 7th of march, so we will get a better idea then. We have semen banked on him at Nichols, or at my place, or Lonny's.  Thanks, Jeff
