Should be easy for some to name this bull (thumbsup)

 

[librarian]

Is that ayatollah?

That Angus bull is mislabeled all over the place and I never believed it was Ankonian Dynamo. Good to know the true identiy.
I think this is Ankonian Dynamo. (First)
Harlan Richie's beef review shows this as Great Northern, (second)
champion in 1970 and under it is the picture from above in the post, labeled Ankonian Dynamo, champion 1972, but don't they look like the same animal?

Hmm..now that I put the side by side, they do not look like the same animal.
Cowman, you are saying the Mystery bull is Blacklock McHenry?

 

[librarian]

Do you know this one?

 

[Okotoks]

Is that ayatollah?

Yes it is Ayatollah at 54 months weighing 2760#'s

 

[librarian]

How about this one? I don't know who it is.

 

[justintime]

Is it Lone Pine Grand Society?

The last time I saw Ayatollah, he was at stud at Minot ND, and I think he was 8 years old. He was, without any doubt, the tallest bull of any breed I have ever seen. I have seen some huge Holstein bulls but Ayatollah was bigger than any of them. He was standing by the fence and I tried to look over his back and could not do it, even when on my tip toes. I am 6 feet tall and this bull was massive!  He looked like he had been built by a committee but he certainly was tall!

 

[librarian]

I wonder who is holding the rope.

 

[OH Breeder]

That guy holding rope is standing up hill of the bull as well. He looks a foot or two of slope.

 

[librarian]

This is Grand Society, looks like a match.
I save these pictures all the time and don't save the name. Wish I had JIT's memory.

ABS imported 3 Aussie bulls at the same time. Lone Pine Grand Society and Merriwong Smuggler were two of them. The third bull escapes me right now. Seems to me, that Smuggler had a white mark on his heart. I saw all three bulls at ABS when they had a stud at Calgary, AB in the 70s. All three were pretty small framed, and I don't think any of them bred that well, as I don't ever remember seeing progeny from any of them. IMO, Grand Society was the best of the three

The third bull was Wynyard Grand Ambassador. Meriwong Smuggler ended up at Alan Wilson's Aldolea herd. They were all smaller than the Mandalong bulls of the time.

That is right Dan.  If I remember correctly, Smuggler was the smallest of the three. They were all much smaller than any of the other Aussie imports from Mandalong and Weebollabolla. I have often wondered if there was any semen still around on the any of the Weebollabolla bulls that came to Canada back in the 70s? I think Gary Hook in BC imported two of them.
I remember thinking that Lone Pine Grand Society was the best of last 3 imports, followed by Wynyard Grand Ambassador, then Merriwong Smuggler. I don't remember any of them being used very much.
