We are offering our show bull Funks Mucho Dinero at the Iowa Beef Expo.  Was a really hard decision to make, but have decided he needs to go out and make a name for himself and our farm.  The best bull we've ever raised.

Major's Money Man x Majors Delilah (HAA Stockman x Calberta Hustler)
March 2, 2008
78 pounds born unassisted from a first calf heifer
Possibly Money Man's best son yet (according to most that have seen him)

Reserve Jr. Bull calf champion 2008 Maine anjou World show
Champion Maine bull 2008 MO state Fair 4-H show (big bull show and still won while still nursing his dam!)
Champion Cow/calf pair 2008 MO State Fair 4-H and open
2008 Champion Maine bull NW MO state fair
Champion Maine bull 8 other times while at his dam's side

His dam was my daughter's first show heifer and has been Champion Maine 22 times in her show career.  He is truely a promotable bull.  Calving ease while not giving up preformance and thickness.  Big topped, small headed, big boned, and a big old butt all while moving like a cat on his feet and legs.  OH yeah...did I forget hair?  he has more hair than I know what to do with lol (thank goodness I have Juli Nelson helping me clip lol)

Many on here has seen him at various shows thru his career...he's the real deal.  I'm located in NW MO just over the Iowa border.  Feel free to come check him out here or at the Iowa Beef Expo.  His Royal picture is good, but he looks AWESOME now...gets better every day.

Hope to see you all there!  Stop by, my pen is to be right next to the Iowa Maine Anjou booth (at least that was what I was told)

He's getting roughed out on Sunday.  If its not terribly muddy I'll try to get one taken for you.  We've been working hair but not clipping wanted it to grow out more.  If you'd like a reference, talk to Juli Nelson or Beau Ebersole (he's hte Iowa Maine president and knows the bull well)  Beau's info is at www.iowamaineanjou.com

Yep they sell on Thursday.  Make sure you stop by and say hi!  I'll be there Tuesday night setting up. 

I cann't believe I've had 4 people contact me what I'm flooring him at.  I want to say...he's going to sell bottom line.  The only floor on him is the one set by the Iowa Maine Anjou Association and I believe its either $1100 or $1500.

I really hope people come take the time to check this bull out.  I hope to have more pictures on Sunday after he's clipped.

We are not putting a floor on him because we have confidence he'll go out and do a good job for whoever gets him plain and simple.  Thank you for the words of encouragement SD, I know you always like the little booger from the day you seen him at Jr. Nationals.  Shame you didn't get the shares you wanted to syndicate him!

Maybe you should contact Beau Ebersole or Mike Sorenson and put a bid in!  Heck for you I'd even deliver him to ya!

No floor! Outrageous!! I don't know who wouldn't want this guy in their pasture. Plain and simple he is the real taco!

Good luck!

I agree. I saw him at nationals too, and I really liked him there. Can't wait to see him at the Expo.  I'll have to wander around and find your stalls Gidget.

here are a couple of pictures I took Sunday.  Please note he's just roughed out...took 3 hours to get thru that Yak hair!  He was also more interested in the 2 bulls there than getting his pictures so were lucky to have these lol.
