I'm looking for some suggestions of Shorthorn bulls whose semen is available in Canada that leave lots of growth, muscle and power. Not necessarily just bulls of today but possibly bulls from a few years back.

We have a large selection of sires. Here is one that I think is going to sire some very useful cattle. His first calves are excellent - both sexes.  He is HC Bluebook 22B. He is an ET son of Waukaru Orion 2047 ET and HC FL Sparkle Delight 2X ET. He topped our bull sale in 2015 at $32,000 and he has continued to develop excellent since then. I have attached pictures of him at different ages.  Last week he was named Reserve Grand Champion at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto and he was also Reserve Grand last year as well. He has one of the best dispositions you could ever find and never even required to be halter broke. He led the first time a rope touched his head. He is thick and long made and has as good a foot as I have seen in a long while. He weighed 88lbs at birth, 1328 at 12 months, 2015 as a yearling at the 2015 Royal show, and 2460 at the Royal last week after breeding cows this summer.  He has not been tested but I would bet my farm that he is homozygous polled.  I have attached pictures of him at 12 months, yearling, two year old and a fall born son at 5 weeks of age taken a few days ago. We have semen available the Canada, USA and Australia. His dam 2X, is one of the easiest fleshing cows we have ever owned. The entire Sparkle cow line have this trait as well. She has become our lead donor and we have sent embryos from her to 9 countries now. She is bred to calve in 2017, and we already have several orders for embryos from her next year.
We have semen available on several dozen Shorthorn sires, both old and new. PM me for a list of what we have.
