I hope any of you thinking of using Dirty Harry,won't hesitate because some of these testimonials have reported "pulls" on first calf heifers. The genetics of the heifer has as much to do with "calving ease" as the bull. As Carrie has stated,we have 3 first calf heifers bred to him,our neighbors have calved 20 first calf already this spring,with NO pulls. I got the Firestorm started on JPJ about 3 years ago,mostly because the shorthorn breed didn't have a copnsistant bull for calving ease,that could be dependent on,especially for "Club Calf purposes. As most has found out JPJ has proven to be far more useful to the shorthorn breed and for "clubby applications"than some folks would have believed.Most have admitted they were mistaken. I believe in DIRTY HARRY also,he will be far more usefull than just as a"Calving Ease"bull. He already has sired numerous female champions all across America,from county to some of the toughest "STATE" shows around. I sold one to Oklahoma that has had her first calf and it was reported back to be a good mother that milks well,despite having" Strictly Business" blood running through it's veins. As another post on this thread has stated,Dirty Harry calves are consistantly more uniform,with adequate bone,muscle,vigo rand absolutely more hair than ANY other calving ease bull that I have ever used. This is including JPJ!!! My experience dates back nearly 50 years breeding and showing Registered Angus,Shorthorns,Maines and a ton of crossbreds. Although Major's Money man is and has been a great Maine bull,as was his sire,Waldo,he has always been great for calving ease,but he does not stampout the "Look" as much as Harry has proven to do so far. Use with confidence!! NO I DO NOT HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS BULL WHATSOEVER!!! Also, for any one's information I don't jump on any bull's bandwagon,without first seeing calves out of him and then trying him on our own. No bull works for everybody,but he is more than worth trying.As most of you that read my posts have seen there is another bull that I have been asked to help promote.Never in my wildest dreams have I ever thought I would promote an Angus bull. WHY? because there are so many of them out there that works for what ever purpose or the other.GOOD bulls.But there is a Angus bull that works well for breeders of registered cattle,and he works wonders for Maine and Simmy crosses.He was used by two very respected herds this past year,one in NEBRASKA and one in KANSAS,his numbers will be out this fall and the projections for calving ease to weaning to yearling spreads are above average,with phenotype and structural correctness,when bred to sound cattle,phonomenal.Go to CATTLE IN MOTION.com and click on JAYCEE'S RAMBLIN FEVER,You will see him in pasture condition,daughters of him out of Angus cows,daughters of him out of crossbred cow's and sisters of his out of his mother.He is the real deal.My close friend DAN MAY raised this bull[Dan is BOB'S brother]down in Oklahoma.If any one wants to know the respected angus breeders that used this bull,along with semen inquiries,contact me on the pm. THANKS...JOHN, TMJ Showcattle.
