Favorite Bulls on display at NWSS

[shortyjock89]

What were everyone's picks this year?  Maybe list 3 or 5 that were your favorites, and let us know if you're ranking them in order or not.  Maybe also include a comment about each bull if you want.  I'll go first!

1. Ivy League- IMO, by FAR the best shorty out there, and I'm a Shorthorn guy so he makes sense for me. SUPER stout, rocket fronted out of a  Sonny. You can bet we'll use him!
2. N Charge-  SUPER stout son of Hannibal, loads of hair, and is sound on the move.  I don't know what else you could ask for if you're making crossbred steers.
3. Bojo- My bad...he's an ALI...stoutest ALI son I've seen yet though.  I didn't see him move, but he was super nice in the stalls.
4. Womanizer- Just SUPER thick ended, LOADS of hair, and when I put my hands on him, he still had a lot of meat down his top.  He should sire some very nice calves out of rocket fronted cows that need some thickness and shag. I suspect he'll breed a little like Sunseeker.
5. Wave Goodbye- Just a really complete kind of bull that should sire some very nice calves out of carrier females, just wish his testicles were a little bigger.  I'd like to commend Habegar's for going ahead and displaying the bull and doing such a good job of it.  It definitely took some heart.

Agree on Ivy League. I am not a shorthorn guy, but really appreciate this bull
Babe Ruth...Out of a truly awesome momma. Really liked his structure and and balance. Think he may be the sleeper.
N Charge...Super hannibal son. seemed to toe abit. but very nice.
Bojo...I thought he was an Ali???? Really impressed by this bull. He was a good package.
Power Trip...I think he was the best HW son out there.
Womanizer...Almost Famous son that had some depth!!! ( I have one out out of 10 that had any depth!) Hairest bull there. Unbelievably thick!
Wave Goodbye...Good bull, seemed to lack depth and was a bit tight hearted. But agree, on a carrier momma , should work.
Troubador...Dr. Who son that was pretty complete. Neat steer bull.

Saw some bulls that if you string lined from hock to dew claws you would have had two inches of space between!!!!

1. N-Charge- Most complete bull.  I was very impressed to see him walk.  Very sound for a bull that Stout.  Full of middle, Big Boned and great hair.
2.Eye Candy-  I've read some say he was to small.  IMO, Not for the right cows.  Was impressed with the way he grew into his front.  It takes guts to promote a 2- year old in Denver.
3. Felony- 3/4 Char. Very complete.  Love the hair for a high % Char.
4. Ivy League- Very complete younge bull
5.  Bojo- One of the best Ali's I've seen

The best bull in the yards by some margin was Rendition, a PB simmi- He might have a bit shoulder, but find a better built Simi with foot/bone, and soundness
2nd best was BOJO
3rd was the PB Angus owned by Praire View Farm, Kramer, and a bunch of others, can't remember his name, but he was next to R.R. trackes  in corner.
4th best was Captain Morgan, even though I hated his front end.

The rest of the bulls IMO were all Average to OK to needed their nuts cut.  They each had some peices, but at the same time were quite piecey... 

Hope I haven't offended anyone, don't mean to.

N-Charge
Womanizer
BOJO
Detour-Friction son that had some nuts, i hope he's got some bullets in the gun. the industry is due for a good friction son
Ivy League
Cyrus-pretty good even for a Herf

 

[farmboy]

so does anyone have pics yet

 

[shortyjock89]

I forgot about Detour for a minute.  He's pretty cool too. He's even from pretty close to me.  Good to see that Baudino had a good bull to display after the great IL State Fair they had.

Cyrus should make some really good steers. But being out of Moler, you can run into some soundness issues IMO.

so does anyone have pics yet

I've got about 100 pics from the yards.  I'll sort through them tonight and post a few.

What's Bojo's dam?

 

[shorthorngirl2010]

Heres In Charge.  He he, its good showing with kids who work for clubby producers  ;D Showed against this bull as a calf, and lemme tell ya, he is COOL. He is EXTREMELY sound and love how correct he is (imo). did i mention he has HAIR O0

I bet this bulkl looks good in person, but I think it looks like alot of fake har on his belly.  Anyway, did anyone see the Gensini bull?

 

[showcattlegal]

What about captain morgan and how was he bred? the other one that I was wondering how he looked in person is Tiger woods?

tiger woods wasnt there.... he was golfing 

i'll be here all week

I liked the Babe Ruth bull, he wasn't the most powerful but he was neat and sound.

 

[cattlehorn]

Ivy League..Best bull I've seen in quite awhile..

A bull named Cyrus better have a mullet

Can you tell me more about the Angus bull? I'm assuming he was clubby looking, but how about thickness, top, hip, hair, feet and legs? I'm also interested in sire/dam. My son is always on the lookout for what to breed his two females to.

I thought Ncharge was really good, stouter and softer than his pedigree would suggest.  Huge top, good boned with more middle than i have seen in a Hannibal.
Cyrus was really good and he is a Herf.  Make him black and most would have him in the top 5. 
Dark Horse - Hannibal x Angus that is awesome from the side as you would expect and wow what a caboose.
Power Trip - Heat Wave x Hostage that is a little more mature than some others.  but a great leg, powerful has the look of a steer maker.
Bailout - Alias x Lifeline - I really liked this bull for his completeness in a THF and PHAF package.
I thought this years set of bulls blew away the bulls from 2 years ago as a group. I didn't make it last year.  Other noteworthy prospects that could be around for more than 1 year.
Predator - High % Maine from Holtkamp
Houston - clone to the 2008 Houston champ steer
Gucci - Maine
Wave Goodbye - Freaky enough to be the changer in the group.
Letters from Home.  the top selling bull of Willers Mitten Brand in the chi sale that went to Bushy Park for $14k.  Impulse x chi/ang. Cow maker deluxe.

I liked lot 8 of Jungels sale bulls. The no problem bull. He had a 14 inch ribeye. I got outbid on him, I think he brought 7,000$.
