My First Ever Bull Purchase

[simba]

I bought this guy off of the SteerPlanet classifieds and I'm pretty excited about him. He's a January 2014 Harvie High Roller out of a 16 time Champion or Reserve Champion About Time cow.

First off nice bull, second I noticed he doesn't have the white on the neck. Is that a problem if they don't have that marking?

Bull looks really good Larissa.

IMO, that's not a problem but a plus. I've noticed a push away from the Feathernecks for awhile now.

That is a really nice hereford bull.

Thank you for the positive comments!

Mark- He's got a big one

Frostback- Some guys don't like it if they have a red crest but as XBAR said, recently a lot of guys have been starting to push away from feathernecks. I'm indifferent on if they have a feather or not but I'd much rather have a smaller one than a larger one. It really just comes down to personal preference.

Here's a cell phone picture of the big guy from last night. I'm really happy with how he's progressing.

Nice bull! Are you bringing him to Agribition?

 

[simba]

Thanks cowboy_nyk! That's the plan- hope to do Westlock Fair, Lloydminster Stockade Roundup and Agribition.

Perfect.  I'll give him the twice over in November!

It's been a while since I updated this post so I thought I'd put up some more pictures of Clyde and his first calf crop. I am really happy that I took a chance on this guy and bought him.
