My two cents, although it might not be worth that much. I thought Rodgers had the best set of bulls there. I preferred 1OAK to Fair and Square, but wouldn’t argue too hard if someone disagreed. He seemed a little smoother throughout, and is TH/PHAF.
Dragers Dabo bull was super wide, square, loaded with muscle, personally I would have liked to seen more set to his rear leg.
Redneck would have been my choice for the % Shorthorn’s displayed. Incredibly wide topped, monster boned while still appearing to have appropriate set to his wheels.
I thought Phil’s Trust in Me, name might not be right, it was his In God We Trust son, would definitely have some utility.
A few others I liked:
Schillings had a purebred Angus they call Confidential. Owned with Hinrichsen and Pembrook. Division Champion on the hill, wide bodied, huge belly, clean fronted, plenty stout for an angus, really think he’ll see some use.
Thunder? Goretskas % Charolais. Appeared from a standstill to be plenty sound, one of the wider clubby bulls in the yard, still appeared to have some grow.
Antidote-Maternal Made son owned by Silverline Genetics. Larger framed and substantially more grow than most in the yards. Maternal option, they had a video of him walking playing in the stalls, which was refreshing.
A really interesting bull that I saw, and he was displayed for the Western Elite sale later that night, was the solid black Maternal Made in the sale. He wasn’t displayed to sell semen but to attract for the sale, but he was one of my personal favorites there.
There was several others that I’m sure we walked past, the yards were packed, and we really only stopped if they grabbed attention at first glance.
happy to see pictures and curious to see what people think about the bulls on display. I always like to see them in person especially their legs or at least a good video watching them move out.
