Our herd bull

[HAB]

Out checking cows the other evening and took this picture of our 7 year old herdbull.  He is just starting to shed out, so his haircoat is a little rough.

 

[justintime]

you can see through the hair coat that he is a tank!  Good bull!

Is he a Galloway?

He was used in a small herd in Ontario the first few years, so there are only a handful of offspring out of him.  Here is a link to one of his daughters.

Here is a different angle taken last year.

Hab I'm set for this year's breeding season, but for next year possibly, how can a guy get semen in the tank? Are you planning on going to NWSS? Thanks, BC.

We have him collected and stored @ Hawkeye in Billings, MT.  Semen is available through us directly.
 
We are currently working with Genex, to get him in their Added Attractions line up.

Yes, we go to the NWSS, and typically bring the tank along.

Thanks,

Harley

I agree, I have seen quite a few good Shorthorn X Galloway crosses.

Wyatt- I call him a frame score 6, but most people tell me he is a strong 5.  He weighed 2,566 in Jan.  Some of the old herds had some skittish ones, as the cattle were lucky to see people once a year.  We cull anything with attitude.  I cannot take credit for raising him.  He was raised by Glenfiddich Galloways in Ontario, Canada.

We had people ask us if he was ever tested for TH or PHA.  He had not been, so we did test him this summer.  He came back NEGATIVE for both tests.  ;D

Thanks for the comments.
