What is everyones experiences with this bull? he sure has a pretty impressive picture but how do the calves look? Any thoughts would be great!! <cowboy>

I have a Darkhorse bull calf on the ground now.  He's a late October and he's out of a Heatwave / Babe Ruth heifer.  He had to be pulled, he was a 78 lb BW.  He is really good so far, good bone and structure with an exceptional hip and awesome hair which is pretty atypical of a pure bred angus.  My daughter will show him next year.  I am really pleased with him.

I haven't personally used him but know one of the owners. He is a good bull but tbh I'm not sold that he has quite as much muscle as it would seem in that pic.

But thats just my opinion....

if i was using him on purebred angus cows what type of cow would he work best on?

champion angus heifer at the Kansas Junior Livestock Show was a darkhorse

+1 for Mccannfarms.  I saw him at Nichols and I agree.  As for PB cows, I would use him on power cows with great CE that need prettied up.

Agreed! If you have cows that have a lot of substance but want to add some style Darkhorse would be one to consider.

Breed him to cows that can handle it ....not for heifers
