Looks incredibly long from hook to pin as well. A really well balanced bull overall. I watched the pen show from the house via live auctions tv and even as shitty as the picture quality was, the prominence of Times Square relative to his peers was clear. I image just the possession side will cost a fella prolly 20 grand. Maybe more.
One thing for sure. Saskvalley Tradition is a bull that’s gotta be used more. Thermal Energy, Wallstreet, and now this bull- Times Square.

I’d agree with that for sure. He’s a proportionally lengthy bull. Appeared to be a good big longer than the other two bulls in pen of 3.knabe said:-XBAR- said:Looks incredibly long from hook to pin as well.
i don't think it's that.
i think it looks long because he's proportional, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.

i've thought that for a very long time. probably can't emphasize that enough.

really liked bonanza and buster and major leroy and the diamond sparkle cow back in the day.
i can't remember which bull you had a bw problem with. but then you want more moderate cattle than all 3 of those can make.

I noticed him as a stand out on the video as well and would like to try him on a few in the future, so I hope it's made available.
Totally different pedigree, but I think the bull you bought semen on in last night's sale is fairly underrated.
Huberdale Mastercharge was one of my favourite bulls back in the day. He was a senior herdsire at Saskvalley and shows up in the background of many of their cattle. He is in Saskvalley Ultra 12J's pedigree top and bottom. Saskvalley has done a great job of selecting cattle to suit a very rugged environment and the cattle they produce are sound and functional.mark tenenbaum said:My fave rave Canadian bulls are Buster 14K -complete outcross from what I can see-And Huberdale Mastercharge-I like the looks of JITS NEW bull he just has out-See how his calves come and if hes even available O0
That roan calf is impressive, should make someone a hell of a good bull! (clapping)E6 Durhams said:Alamo has done great here. A few pics of calves just weaned. Pics were taken the day the were taken off the cow.

He talks the talk but has walked the walk! I think we have all become too used to 'watering down' the facts. We are becoming like politicians.hclubcalves said:Why is that XBAR character allowed to remain on this site?
