NAME THE BULL!

[GM]

Deerpark Leader ( sire of Dividend)

You got it!  I'm curious if you or anyone had seen this picture of him before.  I hadn't until I purchased a book last week titled Shorthorns in the 20th Century UK and Ireland.  There's a chapter on Irish shorthorns that's really interesting.  It includes this picture of Deerpark Leader and a picture of Highfield Improver.  It's an interesting read for all the Shorthorn enthusiasts on the forum.  Leader is in the pedigree of just about every animal that has a Deerpark or Highfield prefix.  I think its harder to find a popular Shorthorn bull that doesn't have Deerpark Leader somewhere in their background.  He was born in 1967 and has had progeny registered as recently as the year 2000.

I have never seen that photo before. I can't find the one they used to use for him but I think it was a better photo if I remember it correctly.You are right about Deerpark Leader being in almost every pedigree even if it's may generations back. Where did you purchase the book?

I purchased it online.  Google the title and you'll find a bunch of sites selling it.  I think I paid $30.

The only picture of him I had seen before this was in a Lazy D ad in an old Shorthorn Country...I think it was a color pic of him on pasture - not sure though.

He's not Ayatollah (when you think of Ayatollah think giant, solid red, Illawara/Shorthorn/? cross.) 

Here's a clue...believe it or not, he is a common ancestor of the following widely talked about Steer Planet Shorthorn bulls: Trump, Double Stuff, Proud Jazz, Timeline, Sonny, Gizmo, Wild Side, Saskvalley Bonanza, Diamond Prophecy 21P, Captain Obvious, 034, 329, TG /RRA Complete 421U, even Sodhouse Lancer if you go back far enough...the list could go on....and he's   even in Heatwave's pedigree lol!!!!  He's not believed to be a TH carrier.

I just yelled out loud. " are you kidding me!" my ol lady jumped off the couch like the house was on fire. Wow. I just learned a lesson. And I really don't like that bull. No ass , weird head. Bad picture of course but holy moly.

Did dividends mother produce anything else?

Dividend looks like a successful fire ice mating and why people keep trying.

Maybe that's why I like Fullbloods.

If shorthorns can improve that fast so can Fullbloods

While it doesn't always hold true, it seems more times than not that a red/white or roan with Deerpark close in the pedigree has red on the caudal area of the hind legs and white with a few dots of red on the cranial hind leg.

Here's three bulls for the masses.

 

[BadgerFan]

Boxcar Willy, Cub, Draft Pick

 

[kfacres]

three more.

 

[BadgerFan]

Nichols Destiny, Epinal and I think Whitestone Widespread.  If not Widespread, it's another EXT bred bull.

FCC Epinol- I didn't expect anyone would get it- but with all the other fullblood pics on here-- I thought it was worth a shot..

Keep guessing on the Angus bull=-- think older- think all the bulls you mentioned in common.

Here's some more.

Epinal, not epinol.
