coachmac said:Owen Brothers Cattle Company owns this bull. I was up there last weekend and got to see him with his work clothes on, as well as a number of calves. He will not add frame to your cow, but really seems to put a good amt of rib and width in the calves. Depending on the amount of chrome the cow has would depend wether I would use him. He has a tendency to add some mot/baldy to most of the calves we seen, even out of the angus. Really good calves esp out of the angus cows. I really like this bulls ability to walk. He is pretty catty and another positive .... really docile. Adam Owen walks right up to his head, in a pasture full of cows and he didnt even bat an eye. Calves were not flighty at all and seemed like they would easily be broke to halter if that was your wish. But, the cows were all pretty laid back as well. OBCC, if a am thinking straight, took a very competitive Rendition heifer to the Royal where she won division and she was out at Denver as well.... think she was second in class! We are thinking about picking up some straws outselves. Their annual sale in April will feature quite a few Rendition calves. If you would like a contact number please let me know. The Owens are really nice and helpful.
Yep. Has to be since he had a red calf (The Fields have a great looking red heifer by him).LKFSimme said:Thanks for the detailed responses....looks like we might be getting some of him to use. From what everyone said, he is hetero. black, right? Thanks again everyone for your responses....you all rock!!!
Not trying to hijack this thread, but he really doesn't clean up the front? I have heard that he has! I am also really interested in him, but some of my cattle are a bit heavy fronted, and I need one to clean them up. I really liked Rendition when I first saw his picture, and I like his sire too! ;Dfiresweepranch said:I too have walked the pens with Rendition last year at the Owens sale (a few days before), and was extremely impressed with him. Docile, thick, correct, and covered his tracks. That was right before or after they took him to Tulsa to show, so he was in his show clothes
The Fields (they are on Steer Planet) has a REALLY nice red baldy female for sale that we liked and almost bought out of Rendition. I talked with Adam Owen (he is our ABS rep) about breeding our Macho half blood (the one I got at Collins sale), and he was honest and said not to do it because she is heavy fronted and he would not clean that up. I really appreciated that about him (Adam), and have several straws in the tank I hope to use on my limited supply of cows this spring ;D
