I like them. Any idea how big of frame or weight Shandon Ali had? Looks nice and compact in the picture and description reads like that.

Please, I love seeing the old catalog pics. Any Friesian, Amerifax, or even any other bulls from any breed you liked. I appreciated seeing Ino's Perfection and hadn't seen him before.

Thanks for those pictures. First time I've seen all 3 of those bulls. Really appreciate you posting them. Emulation 31 has a picture here: http://www.puregrassbeef.com/photos_of_famous_angus_sires Through EXT he probably has pretty significant influence in the Angus population today. CSU...

You linked the Genuine JBH podcast with the Alden episode in that other thread. I assuming you have already listened to the Johnny Hook ones but if not you might enjoy them. To me the 70s would have been just such a fascinating time to be in the cattle business. You can probably tell by all...

This is some of what I am curious about. I'm curious how far this is from the original F1 cross and if her daughters were similar consistency. You can definitely see the vision of the type and kind laid out all those years ago and kept that way for going on 50 years. That's such an admirable...

Cool handout. Lots of good pictures and descriptions in there.

I've never come across that link before Hopster. Really good. Thanks.

Page 2-3 in the Import picture you might recognize the young guy in the middle with the goatee :-)

Random aside looking at those pictures and the 1983 one versus the 1912 one, I annoys me anytime you see the front feet standing on higher ground than the back feet in photos especially when they try to like photoshop grass in there in the most recent ones. I've always been curious why did they...

I think they were just the dual purpose Friesians from Europe but named that way as branding to distinguish from Holsteins in NA that lacked so much muscle and are hard doing, I think. Also, I think I remember reading the name Holstein in NA was administrative mistake on import so it was...

Lol, poor guy.

Thanks for posting. Nice to see the purebred Chi's and The Black Answer cross too. Was ino pretty similar to ildeno? I guess Tim had both ino's perfection and ildeno on his farm at the same time? ino too? Looks like The Black Answer is 3/4 Ildeno and 1/4 Amerifax. Was it pretty typical...

Funny you list those ones cause those are the ones I had in mind. I basically wanted to see the original Friesians (like the 1912 one above) and then how they looked crossed. The 1912 one looks nothing like the holsteins in the catalogues today. I have tried to find some names in the past but...

Came across this website with lots of cool bull pictures I thought might be interesting to share. https://www.heritageshorthorn.org/classic-bulls/a-to-h https://www.heritageshorthorn.org/classic-bulls/j-to-z

Yeah, definitely. However, I'd feel bad taking up his time just to nerd out on cow pedigrees and breeding. I see some pictures of the older MRIJ cattle and they really look like how you describe. I have a feeling they would be closely related to the red and white friesians as well. They also...
