Hey Knabe , here's a Maine bull for you.

[Doc]

There is a Maine bull advertised in this month's Shorthorn Country. Says he is sired by Tendon(says new French bloodline) out of Maintou Countess 45G. He's asking $25k for full possesion and 1/2 semen rights. Those bloodlines mean anything to you? Red and white bull.

tendon is a bull that has semen imported to the US and Australia, born 2002  he's a double muscle carrier if i remember correctly.  he may not be, there was one that wasn't.

was it really 25,000 or 2,500 and who is the seller, gary?

for what it's worth, manitou's kuda is a notoriously low birth weight fullblood.

here's his pic.  he's a direct son of dada, an orginal import

We are showing a fullblood son of Reno along with our Index son at the ft worth fullblood show

 

[doc-sun]

We also have 5 fullblood heifers bred to our kuda son that had a 75 lb birthweight. 2 of the heifers are polled so we are hoping for a polled bull calf next fall. Also have a yearling performance tested kuda son for sale.

Doc-Son. Do you have the pedigree on the Reno son that you're taking to FW? Really like Manitou Reno's pedigree. And have you tested for PHA status on him?

Search manitou's Yukon on cmaa or amma. No pha test but see no problem

doc-sun, I really like your bull. Love the dark red and he sure looks like he has some meat to him.

thanks. the picture really doesn't do him justice in showing the amount of volume he has. he is very sound, big footed and covers his track well when you can get him to not be so lazy. i bought half of him from gary graham, a good friend who has the bull for sale in shorthorn country, from looking at calf and yearling pictures. he said he tracked and i thought based on phenotype, pedigree and my diet he could do well. we brought him down last may. gary and i see cattle alike, but he favors big ol' good uns. the new french bloodlines he has have produced good cattle, but may be too big for me (i haven't seen enough of them yet though).

I saw that AD in the SC.... Is that guy on drugs??? $25000 for that thing?  I guess you can ask whatever you want..

 

[Telos]

Doc-sun. Really like how your bull looks on the profile. Appears very smooth made and well put together in his parts with good outcross potential. Look forward to seeing him at FW.

Yea, it's kind of like when Les on Pawn Stars asks someone what they want for something? They usually reply " I've seen them on Ebay for $5000". He then replys , yea but what are they bringing on Ebay?

gary graham is a good cattleman and raises good cattle that he is very passionate about and hopefully the unwarranted drug comment is just a metaphor? sometimes he likes to shake things up because he does not like small clubby underperforming maine cattle, black or roan, because the breed characteristics have been bred out of them. you may not like the red & white bull which he may think will work on small clubby roan cows or price he advertised but you won't forget the ad or manitou maines and the good cattle they have. the yukon bull above came from the same place as well as kuda (look at his picture above).
