A Little Reverse Engineering Experiment

[CRS]

Last year we decided to try something out of the ordinary for us.  We have always been a big fan of Bob Agle and his bulls over the years and we have a 4 frame MAB cow that really needs some added frame and a cleaner front, so we decided to use Agle's bull Bad Medicine on her.  I have talked to Bob several times about using him and he always said that the bull needed to be put on a cow that was pretty deep sided, but other than that he would take care of the rest.  Pretty pleased with the calf, but sure would have like to have had a heifer out of that mating.  Calf came pretty easy, was made right weighed just over 80 pounds and gets better by the day.

Here he is at about 5 weeks old

Are you talking about the old Maine bull?

 

[CRS]

Yeah. I think the straw had a collection date of 1989 or 1990

 

[Woody]

That could be a neat clean up bull.

 

[CRS]

He’s double clean too. I’ve got too many bulls now.... lol... at least one is at Hawkeye now being collected

Everyone who has been through this spring really likes this little guy, he’s much better than we expected.
