He makes nice cows and his sons are a little bit bigger framed than most cattle now days with good thickness. They can definitely rattle the chute when they come through though.
If you want to make mama cows that work in a commercial setting stay away from northern improvement. They are showy but man they don’t like dry country that we have out here. Nice looking calf. Hope he has better docility than the net worth’s or whitlocks out here. You turn them out in some big...
