Found some purebred Chianina semen in my dad's old tanks.

Anybody interested in Fonto semen?  He was one of
the early bulls.

Anybody got pix of him from back in the day?

I used Fonto as well as Friggio back in the day. I also remember seeing Fonto in the stud several times. His calves had a bit more style than the Friggio sired calves. Also maybe a bit shorter bodied and not quite as much " get up and go" ( temperament) than some of the other early Chi bulls.

Thank you for the picture.  He looks to be one of the more correctly
made bulls of that day.  Did I see he is registered #1 in the Chi book?
