At some level, I am always impressed at the turnover of bulls of the retailers.

Just because I like this thread and want to keep it going. This is a bull we bought from Fair Cattle in California. His name is Humdinger he is a MossyOak and he is 15 years old and still breeding cows.

15???
I would have guessed 5. Impressive! What's his dams side?

 

[knabe]

cool, a nice breeder in CA!!!!

Man hes cool looking-probably 200 years old in people years-the only other bull I know of that made it almost that long was Dales bull-Wildside O0

 

[PCJR21]

ACA #315460

His dam was a Mayer’s 734
He was pictured for semen sales. select sires “I think” did not want to use him because at the time they had so many MossyOak bulls. His offspring BW was around 80lbs
Probably have had 300+ of calves out of him and only pulled 15-20

We actually bred him back  to his daughters because he did such a good job building females

Attached is a picture of one of his Daughters only one I had handy

Todd Fair/ Fair Cattle still has straws of him

I try to make it through the Iowa stud barns once or twice a year and am often left wondering if anyone actually looks at these bulls after their promotion pics. While some big names are always down right disappointing, there are always a couple lesser or non promoted bulls who look really good that you never end up hearing anything about.

Times have sure changed, too. I think back to the 1990s when you'd run into a highly promoted cubby bull out on lease in some obscure pasture and be blown away. Now you often have to ask how old they are because you're eyes can't believe they're a "mature" bull.

Mature bull pic to keep the thread rolling...

WHO DATTT? O0

He's a Bonanza son that appears to be putting some pretty functional daughters in the herd. I've used him to create some half sib x half sib matings to wind up some pedigrees and so far things look to be working well.
