Moto Moto has been running with the heifers for 30 days after coming out of collection since Feb.

Gave him a bath and a quick haircut.

most cattle need hair to hide how bad they really are, moto moto needed a clip job to show off how good he really is!

Very nice! (thumbsup) My hubby keeps saying that one of these years we're gonna get some Galloway. If he sees these pictures, that might be enough to convince him! How would a shorthorn/Galloway cross herd look?  ;)

A good bunch of shaggy blue roan easy keeping momma cows.  Unless you used a red Galloway.

Who are you selling semen through.  Love his front third and the bone density he has.

Very nice bull...I am breeding clubby and have wondered
About how a good Galloway bull would help with hair...
From the looks of things he would be just fine. What are
the upsides to this bulls pedigree? Can you talk about his
Sire and cow family....what was his birth weaning and
yearling weights? Black or is there red genes? Thanks

MOTO MOTO and his sire Pericles are both available through Genex.

Moto Moto had an 85 lb bw,  we was 635 actual.  He is homozygous black.

His sire has produced very good females and bulls.
Moto Moto's dam is 12 and never has missed.  She has replacement heifers or breeding bulls regardless of which bull you breed her to.

We have successfully bred heifers to Pericles.  Moto Moto's first calves are due February 2014.  He will be in Denver in the AGBA display in the herd bull alley.

Thanks,
Harley

Cool deal thanks for the info on moto moto. He looks to be an absolute stud.  Can't wait to see his offspring.

Harley,
This might be hard to answer, but who do you like better? Pericles or Moto Moto? Does one have more strengths or weaknesses?  I know we all are anxiously awaiting Moto Moto's calves which may help answer this question. 
Love them both and have me thinking about giving them a try!
I always love seeing the pics!

Yes it is.  ;D  We are anxiously waiting too.

Because of Moto's mother, I feel he will be an overall better bull.  She has been very, very consistent. 

Moto won't be as tall as Pericles, but should breed more width and base.

Pericles has been great for us.  Some of Pericles' calves take some time to WOW you, but they will. 

Bobby Wellner said "By the time you breed the cow back, you may not use Pericles again, but by weaning you will wish you would have."
