Great information JIT, you are a wealth of knowledge and appreciate all your information. OH Breeder, you may also want to talk to Elbee as he has a Diamond Leggs 21 son that he bought from Darlene Bloomquist of Dar Lee's Shorthorn. His name is Mobutta and I was able to see him in the pasture when I went to Elbees looking at his bulls. He was nice looking, moderate framed with a lot of muscle and a show steer look to him. Darlene had purchased him from Lecil Church and used him for several years and needed to move him on. Darlene would also be a good source on what types of calves he throws and what he works on as well. Darlene told me she has purchased several bulls from Lecil Church. Just be prepared to be on the phone for a while if you call Darlene!
PS, one other thing, you may, or, may mot want to know, is that LC Diamond Cutterx, is the ONLY Beef Shorthorn Bull Available AI in ABS Mexico's sire list. He musta really worked on some commercial cows, or produced excellent replacements, because those guys down there don't have time to mess around with cattle that don't perform( or survive) in such a challenging environment. The reason I say he must have clicked on some commercial cows, is that there isn't a Shorthorn Breed Association in Mexico, leaving out the possibility of him being put across registered cows, or clubby mamas.
