LC Diamond Cutter JBS Big Hurt

[mark tenenbaum]

Anybody remember them? Big Hurt sire to the ALM Tequila deal-but he was a bigger bull-and clean.Saw a pic-looked way wide and square hipped. Havent seen any Diamond Cutters-but I think hes also a thick bull,with a little moe frame. Im thinking of using them,to upframe a tick-but KEEP EM THICK--ANY OPINIONS?? O0

We used diamond cutter on some plainer cows.  These cows were not very stout.  The calves had a nice look to them but not Stout enough.  Their was one bull that was nice he was out of by far the best cow who was quite a bit stouter and better bodied than the rest of the group.  He ended up going into a commercial herd and I tried to buy him back a couple times.  Long story short if the cows are stout and need a little more look he worked for us if they were not stout enough he did not work for us.

I don't know if I'd go out of my way to use those bulls.  They were okay, but there's surely something better out there today.  I liked the profile of the Diamond Cutter bull, but I too would question if he would be stout enough.  Just my opinion.

Lecil Church told me that the reason that the reason "Cutter" was picked by ABS was of his Mother, who was a fail-safe cow. Lecil Church didn't overfeed his cows, and the ol' girl did the job on coarse, common Bermuda grass, Bluestem, and Broom Sedge. Of course she spent time every spring on wheat pasture, but lotsa commercial cows in Oklahoma do, too.
Bigelows in California also used the crap out of him, and claimed that LC Diamond Cutter helped them to start "turning the corner" on the proverbial "type change", before they relied heavily on Proud Jazz breeding. That was back when Matt was in Grad-School at Okie-State in Stillwater.

I was thinking Big Hurt-because he would go on one wth alot of Improver-who is pretty small framed-and he appeared as a mature bull to be very sound-very wide made and square hipped-and a complete outcross to the broken record cattle showing today.
