Anybody know anything RE Hereford Bull DB Grandslam?

[mark tenenbaum]

All I know is hes cool looking and goes back to some old thick genetics O0

 

[mark tenenbaum]

Hes still in SEKs catalogue little confused on the Red Angus having black in it? O0 O0

 

[shortybreeder]

Red Angus breeders can use a registered black Angus bull on a Registered Red Angus female. The resulting black individual is somehow registered with the Red Angus as a black. In the resulting calves.........red ones can be interred in to the Red Angus assc.. The ABS Fusion bull is a result of that program. The program allows black Angus genetics to enter the breed as I understand it.

You do see the bull at the top/subject of the discussion is a Hereford, right?

Mark, Blaine Franklin in Meeker, CO used him and had pretty good success, I'm sure he would visit with you.

He was fairly thick for back then, Blaine never said anything about calving issues, I would doubt you have any problems.  I think Blaine sold one to someone in Indiana that was reserve at the state fair.

Mark have you seen a video of this bull? I have to ask because he looks pretty straight rear legged to me in that picture anyway. I would be skeptical without seeing him move or know someone well that has seen him move. JMO

I saw that-too-havent herd from anyone who really knows the deal-I guess hes from a different era  BCC Double Down was an absolute Wreck structurally-but he sure worked on Horns-The soundest most correct bull I ever had was a son : UB DTR Junior Walker-he passed it along to his calves-Including a son Bartels Bros registered a ton of females out of I thought about this one on a Horn or Simm X maybe O0

The old Grand Slam bull!! I remember seeing some pretty good calves out of him for the times. His BW EPD through the Hereford Association is +7.2 and CED is -12.1 so take that as you may Mark. Would be interesting so how that bull would work today.
