Telos said:Topper was a interesting bull and DL seemed to have sampled him more then anyone I know so I would respect her opinion. Maybe she could elaborate a bit more and give us the good, bad and the ugly on him.
Hey Telos - well Don Coover asked me one time about Topper and said he seemed to be a bull with a "cult following" - he is little known (or perhaps ignored) total outcross bull (Andy Pandy - there's a name you don't hear much in Maine circles) - there are several Topper bulls he is # 177587
He sires really good cows with great temperament - never met a crazy Topper calf - he even seems to calm the loops! Cows are big footed, good boned, deep ribbed high capacity cows that are excellent mothers. They are the kind of cows you enjoy looking at in the field - correct, beautiful udders, long strided
Although a black bull he throws both red and color which probably makes him unpopular with some
