Surge was his nickname as he was double registered in both the beef and milking Shorthorn herd books. He was pretty thick and deep for having Milking Shorthorn heritage. The late Bill Marsden, sold him in the American Polled Congress in Omaha where he was Champion bull in the mid 70s. He sold to R Lee Johnson ( Millbrook Shorthorns) from Ohio for $15,500. I was the runner up bidder as I was trying to find a good bull to use on my Ready Go and Irish Mist daughters. Bill Marsden later told me that he was in fact a full brother to Ready Go, and he also showed me documentation to prove it. Bill had also owned Ready Go, and that his pedigree was changed prior to his buying him. Both bulls were homozygous polled, dark cherry red, adn both sired some good females with excelleny udders. They were very productive females, always bringing in a very good calf. I will have to do some digging but I probably can find a picture of Surge. It may take me a few days to find it, but I will try.
