Dude 2 or Dude II

[brs5]

Has anyone heard of a registered simmi bull named Dude 2 or Dude II? I am not sure on the spelling. He would be a whitey red colored bull from about 10 years ago or more

This isn't a lot of help, but the good news is there is semen available! ;D Haha

I bet you could go to the American Simmental Association webpage and under data search click animal search and look him up. Their server is being updated, so I was unable to get on thier page.

Try 25 - 30 yrs ago. Big , yellow and white . Seems like Achilles and Signal bloodlines, which about every thing was at the time. Big means 9 - 10 frame score.Ludvison's in NW Iowa may or may not have had something to do with him.Seems like somebody from Iowa was involved with him or his sire , but hey that was a generation ago..

Dude was a true mellow yellow spotted bull.  Good performance; maybe not the easiest calver.  Had a couple daughters that were nice.  I'm too lazy to look him up today, but was he maybe an Achilles Superstar son?  We used him in the late 80's to early 90's.

Dude II was a younger and much less popular full brother to Dude.  These bulls were sired by Achilles Superstar and out of a Signal cow and were raised by Finch Simmentals, Bud and Bob Finch of Ames, Iowa.  I believe that Dude was a champion at Denver but I might be mistaken about this he was a fairly popular AI sire for a time in the mid to late eighties.  Dude was born in 1981 and Dude II in 1985.  I have included a picture of Dude.
