I will comment on my own bull STANDS ALONE that is at stud at Nichols Cryo in Ankeny, IA (the only place in IA for top quality semen collection.) Look at this bull long and hard, as I believe it will be hard to find another as complete in terms of soundness, muscle, phenotype and conformation. I have seen his mother, grandmother and sire in the pasture at Wayne and Barb Ohlrichs, NE. The choice was easy after I saw all of them, let's just say it was a no-brainer for us. I'm hard on Maines and this bull provides so many good things for the breed. We need SOUND cattle w/ performance, mommas who will milk and not-lay down w/ PH and TH DUMB calves. (He's TH and PHA free) I'll use him on what few cows I've got left that are positive. Open Bar x Whiplash Cow (maternal 1/2 brother to Point Taken) Take a look at Stands Alone - putzlivestock.com
