Chandler said:Thanks Jaimie, I'm actually pretty familiar with those 3 bulls. If I don't go AI I'll use a bonanza x DRC bull I have. I like the Prophecy bull, he sure is powerful on the move. My cows are about moderate enough, so a minimum 5.5-6 frame bull is what I'm looking for. I like 5-5.5 frame cows so obviously not interested in bulls smaller than that.
What about Altar cedar first blood? Anyone use him? I like the saskvalley primo bull's look too but I realize he's a little bigger bw. Might try to pick that semen up at the purple banner sale for a few second calvers.
Any mature pics of Sue's Nitro bull? Or what about sneeds 322 bull that ra-ba~somethin bought?
JDMC's bonanza son looks Sharp too. Any bulls not offered at bull studs but have semen available that I'm overlooking?

I stole it from Ralph's Y Lazy Y website's herd sire page but if you want to see some more great photos see the Y Lazy Y photo page link below!Redwine Cattle said:Okotoks...I love your fall picture of your leader bull! I think that might be your desktop wallpaper!!
One needs to remember that a bull like Kinnaber Leader 6th has almost no current offspring so as with any animal with little or no data they are basicly starting with zero or negative numbers.Chandler said:Can the Massive bull cover his tracks? l really like the looks of him. Clean fronted, good length, deep chest, Level(with the spine) tailhead, deep red, I like him.
YlazyY's leader bull is a champ for sure. How does 329 have a 32 for yw while the leader bull is single digits?? I know they shorty epds are bassackwards but when people start registering offspring, shouldn't the numbers adjust with higher accuracies?
Another bull I really like the looks of -except for the tailhead- is byland mission. Might be too much for heifers tho. Studers big john? Sofa cedar top dog 11t?
Why isn't this bull more popular? This is one of the best looking shorthorn bulls I've come across. Homo polled and cherry red! He might be a little cow hocked (like 90% of shorthorns I'VE seen out there) but other than that- heck of a bull!Okotoks said:Crooked Post Grissom is another bull that should be mentioned. He is being used in Australia,Canada and the US and has some pretty impressive numbers with high accuracy. There were some darn good sons of his at the battle River sale last weekend with the high seller going to Shadybrook. That son had awesome scan results as well.
