huntaway, I keep thinking about your bull because I like him so much. He has a very classic look. He resembles some old Native bulls in general conformation and head shape, although I know he isn't Native. I think Theodore qualifies for Native status, though.
I have been trying to find photos of Rungahiwi cattle, but have not had good luck. What was your bull's dam like? What particularly interests you about him and made you want to use him?
To me, he has something in common with a bull rn reed raised a few years ago, 108's Cherry Magnet...I thought that bull had an old time kind of Haumont look (second picture)
And then a couple antiques that I just realized have the same build and head as your bull. (What I see, anyway)...these two bulls in the black and white photos are real favorites of mine and I guess that's why my curiosity keeps circling back to your bullThanks for putting up his picture and good luck with him.
