    yukon could be better topped but is not bad considering his volume. i think 4 mos in the cooler by day and out for exercise at night along with rinsing and working his hair will do the trick. look at his picture and just think what 2" of hair and a clip job will do.

    here you go with a rear pic. added a cunia pic. i see some similar characteristics between him and yukon, but yukon is a more moderate package with more volume than cunia had when i saw him in canada. yukon also has a very different bloodline, amaa 430204.

    Lookin for a BUTT

    xbar is right. i would feed him 2 cups of rice bran 2 pints of cooked corn 1 scoop of beet pulp with water added for pallitability and the rest of a 5 gallon bucket of finisher twice a day if he will eat it. might consider leaving it in front of him all of the time and skipping a feeding when he...

    Telos: did you ever see general jackson or raise or see any calves by him? did you ever see 81e? john schuessler told me he was a great bull, but i only saw epic and sundowner epinal which were good bulls and full sibs from the same flush.

    fullblood bull with an example of a cow you get if he is crossed on blacks, reds, or even solid clubbys. most blacks will stay black but i wouldn't call the red results undesireable.
