Depth and Spring of rib, how would you rate him? i love the look he gives you


Depth and spring of rib are both just adequate, but definitely NOT lacking....BUT......as I said earlier, he should be HUGE bodied the way he is bred.  I like him this way because we have so many Ohlde influenced looking cows coming into production and some could certainly stand to go back the other way a bit. Add in all the small and soft made dirty Shorty and Heat Seeker/Wave influenced females and I think things could get interesting in a hurry.

What is he 1/4, 3/8 or ? simmy


Registered halfblood, but would have just a shot more Sm in him than that.  His mother, grandmother and great grandmother are ALL full faced baldies with solid black bodies.

Knowing that Potters raised this bull goes a long way with me.  The Potters have a ton of cow power in their herd and the calves that we bought from them were always the easy feeding good doing type.  I have no doubt that this bull is a legit as it gets.

Is he out of the Dr. Who female that they showed a couple years ago?  She was a pretty cool critter and a I think a couple traders were working on them to try and buy her....

I'm pretty sure he's out of this female.  Was she a baldy?  She is a definite donor in the making!

She had a blaze face if I remember right.  Pretty good sized for a Dr. Who if it's the one I'm thinking about.

Hey there Mr. Hook!! I'm the guy from OKla that came up to your place in the winter of 02 and bought a blue roan Double Stuff/ Kroupa donor bull you had left a bull. Got some really good calves from that bull.Sold him to a fella that used him on herefords and boy did that really click. He's in club calf heaven now but wanted to respond to you and others that think you might be dishonest. I have dealt with alot of jocks and breeders over the years and you walk tall compared to most. Thats pretty sad really as most of our bussiness is for kids,but unfortunately adults with little scruples are involved too!! I live in Wisconsin[soutwest][Lancaster] have only a small herd of cows raising pretty darn good calves that go on to win from here to OKLA and Texas. Funny you mention ole HeatSeeker,as the best producer I have is a Heat Seeker/Meyers Blactop Cow. Best Wishes and I know I'll be using one or some of your bulls. Really leaning toward MY Turn on a couple cows. Good Luck!!! John Anderson TMJ Show Cattle

Talked to a friend today(contrary to all rumors, I do have one), he said that he saw the bull at Potters this summer. He said he was the real deal. I like the pedigree, and the soundness. Am looking forward to seeing the bull himself. Good luck to the owners. Earl

I was down at Brad's and saw the bull without a fancy haircut, just in his runnin clothes and yes Brad did find another good one. I thought he was bigger boned in person, but he still took a really good pic. I said before that I don't use new bulls, but, I will this one. Not as hard as H.S. though. Nice bull!
