Famous Bull - Rare Photo?

[vcsf]

Seeing the different pictures of Sugar Ray made me think of this photo of a differnent famous bull I came across the other day.  I only ever saw this photo used once.  Everyone should know the bull.  This photo appeared in a magazine when the bull was 2 years old.

Meyer 734?

Has to be 734...Where did you find this photo?  I'd love to see the whole ad that it came from, if it came from an ad.  Thanks.

Not nearly as ugly as I suspected at two years old.

Meyer 734 is my guess.

 

[vcsf]

Yes it is Meyer 734.  Like I said easy to figure out.  Just wondered if anyone had seen this picture used as I think he looks a bit prettier here than in his mature picture.  This came from a quarter page ad in the September 1991 Register (Simmental breed magazine) but it looks as if it may have been reproduced from "The National Livestock Exhibitor".  The quarter page black and white ad is not the easy to read in the magazine so I am not sure how a scan will show up here but will give it a try.

still no guesses in the hall of fame section for bulls?

I wonder why they don't use that picture more, he looks way better there than he does in the mature pictures I have seen of him.

Clinton was just getting used to the White House the last time somebody bought Meyer 734 semen based on his picture.

I have some of my dads old semen books with quite a few different pictures of famous bulls from back in the day..including 734.

$15 a unit sounds cheap now but back in those days, couldn't we get a lot of bulls bought for $6 - $10/unit? 

 

[vet tech]

personally, i like his older photo better....

 

[herefordfootball]

I like his track record better than either of his pictures.    But personally I like the second one better. jmo

they probably wanted to emphasize the growth curve in the first picture back then.  it was a popular perspective.
