XL Merit

[Okotoks]

In XL & Robinwood's Mature Cow Herd Dispersal ad in The Shorthorn Country they have a photo of a bull XL Merit by Kinnaber Leader 9th that looks like a really good bull. Anyone know anything about him?

Unfortunatelly not subscribe Shorthorn Country due high prices for overseas. But I'm seeing some good bulls sired by Leader 9th. I self used him this year here in Brazil.
Do you can publish the photo please?

I have scanned the ad but it isn't very clear, a new scanner so Operator error (lol)
One of our new herd sires is a grandson of Kinnaber Leader 6th a full brother to Kinnaber Leader 9th. With the succes of the JPJ line going back to the TPS Coronet Leader 21st, the sire of the 6th and 9th you would think you would see more breeders trying out these genetics!

He looks good. Only thing I don't care for is that motley face behind the roaning.

Thanks for the scan.
Yes, he looks good. White roan. Like him.
Personally I always think that we need see these old genetics with a different eye of new ones like Trump, Sonny or another one. They are different cattle from different times, so we can not compare it side by side.
He show deep body, meat and will add thickness and soundness with a little heterosis inside breed.
A good option to open lines!
