I won't pick out a particular bull, but I will have to say the Canadian Shorthorn breeders have done a good job of presenting what they have.  There are several interesting possibilities that I have become more aware of through SP.  For most of the life of our Shorthorn herd, we used a certain bull or two, kept some daughters, picked another bull, and so on.  Somewhere in the 80's or 90's, though, it seems like a lot of breeders, me included, started using a lot of different lines with no particular destination in mind other than raising a calf we could sell for money.  Since our cow sale in 2003, I decided to get back to how it used to be.  In the near future, I'll have a herd of about 40 half sisters and some of the Canadian bulls seem to be worth consideration for the next step.  I found a bull that I think would be the ticket, but I'm a year away from really needing him.  Of course, I do have that new white bull behind the barn for a little experimentation.  Old habits are hard to break!

Rumor Mill looks good will try to use him! and also never would have tried Bojo if not for the good comments on here.

I would say Kaper 4508, 108 and the whole Kaper herd. Very cool. Prophecy is cool. SP confirmed my thoughts about Muridale Buster. Awesome bull.


Other than that, I have to say the people I have met on SP trump the bulls I have found. Mr Tenenbaum, Aussie, RN Reed , OH Breeder, to name a few are truly folks I like to chat with. Never knew them until SP! Cheers.

My top choice would definitely be TG/RRA Complete 421U. It didn't take me too long to realize that I needed to get in the truck and go check this guy out. I was pleased to learn that I didn't have to drive all the way to Michigan (although I was prepared) to check him out. Bought him when I first seen him because I knew that he would not last for a few more days, especially after seeing him in person.
I also have liked a lot of the bulls I have seen on some threads like the "Heifer bulls" thread. My reserve champion would be RS 034 329 or "329". This bull was in the pasture along with Complete when I purchased him. He is a very nice, calving ease Shorthorn bull with a lot to offer other than calving ease.

You won't be disappointed in Rumor Mill.  I saw him lastnight and he is outstanding.

Trying to keep things going a lttle Lately I like Comptons How Its Done I watched him grow up a few times and then  saw him at less than a year at Ohio Beef Expo (pictured- talk about a crowd pleaser) Then took him to the Nichols  bull stud and back last week on a visit out there. Very impressive even in his working clothes and as ez to handle as any bull Ive been around. His 68 pound BW is a major plus for an animal so massive but he is not made like he would be hard calving  O0
