Here are a couple of pictures of our new herdsire JSF Medicine Rock 46W, or Rocky when we talk about him around home. He was the lot 1 bull in the Durhams for Denver. Let me know what you think and which photo you like better.

He looks to have matured well since the first time I saw him in October. I like the second picture better, fewer shadows allow for a greater amount muscle definition  to show through.

looks great! i would use the first picture just because his neck looks cleaner and his front feet are set more natural, in that second he looks awkward on his front end. jmo

Stumpy... he looks like he has continued to develop very well since Denver. I personally like the second picture as I think he looks a little more soggy made in it , and more well balanced.... but it is a close call. I just got another new herd sire home today and I will have to get some pics of him soon.

Thank-you to everyone I like the second a little better too. Sue if you have time come on down you might also like our new yearling bull from Lovings that traces to Legacey 23g and two times to KL Double Duty. Scott and Marty are less than 20 miles away so you might see them as well. Davis you are a real deal we haven't talked in forever and 3 stinkin words! I know you can do better than that. Call or come out sometimes bud!

Davis must be so busy getting ready for a wedding that he only has time for three words!

Maybe he is just getting used to only getting that many in edgeways! Sorry Katie but when Grant pitched I just had to swing. ;D

He's the kinda bull that brings back the arguments for use of Linear Measurements for phenotype evaluation  in Beef Cattle.

I think Y'uns have a good one!

Ha Ha Ha guys (even though it is kinda the truth) The bull looks great Stumpy, I agree that he has really come into himself since Denver and I think that you got that Jazz son that you wanted a while back.  The only thing that I would change about the second pict is it looks like to me that his ears arn't all the way forward and it kinda draws the eyes up in that area but other than that it is a great pict.  Now if I could only get my bull to pose for me like that we would be in shape.

Good looking-how big is he? I dont remember his dams side-is she a medicine man? If so-he looks alot like Byland Dazzler-one of the best unsung performance bulls ever born-then umpteen years later-SIRE of national champions O0

I was going to say something about the ears too? Stumpy just start over  :). Davis gave me a map of KS Breeders - I know where everyone is and I love this map!

He was before my tiime in the business. thanks : Byland Dazzler was sold with his Byland Big Bud dam at the 1991 Louisville sale-I was bidding on his dam and Tribbet got her-He was sold to Brockmueller in South Dakota-Was and remins one of the best Shorthorn calves Ive ever seen He was sired by Deertrail Awesome-Who was gigantic-but was a stout very moderate (for the times),thick,big footed bull. bull. Not sure who has the semen-but Dave Mcfarland would know. His daughters were outstanding-and there was a son called Daybreak Express who was owned by Werning ,is a thick calving ease deal-(o BW I believe) and has sired some great show hiefers,he is available at genetic horizens -or c-visions-one or other.
