Attention Shorthorn Gurus and Furus - old bull pics!!!

I purchased Ultimate Type with the intention of putting his great rump structure, style, and correctness on the predominately dual based herd I had at the time.  It worked great.  Unfortunately, the 80's happened and my plans kind of got short circuited.  I took a calfhood photo of him at Lazy D's when I picked him out that would knock your socks off.  I wish I could find it, it's only been about 40 years ago.  I had my choice down to Ultimate Type and HL Quane.  I picked Ultimate Type because he looked just as his name would imply, also why Richard named him as he did.  I always wondered what kind of name he would have made for himself in someone else's hands.  UT's full sister, Lazy D Deerpark Una, was one tremendous female, but could never get around Greeley's Dividend Pearl heifer.  I thought Quane's dam was one of the best Irish cows I had seen.  I have semen from both bulls and always wondered how it would be to cross the two.  Maybe some day.

Sharing a couple different pics. The black and white photo is JBS Astronaut, the red and white bull is CSF Maintainer, and the others are named.  Based on the sales on the sire buyer website  the demand for these older bulls is more than I thought it’d be. Kinda cool to see.  Rustler might be the most intriguing.  He’s got the genetics that make up a lot of the modern show ring winners except for Trump genetics.  He’s a Boris (Rodeo Drive x Dividend) out of original KABA Rose T90, and was born the same year as Trump.  Trump doesn’t have any Rodeo Drive in him. Trump’s dam has a lot of this old green ridge breeding in her.  She is by Nugget who is a half brother to Seville on his dams side, and sired by a GR Dreamboat son (GR Combo).  Of course Trumps sire is a Cunia x Dividend
