Picture:Denver Display Bull-Who has the Best Display Bulls going to Denver?????

[Steer4Caddy]

Sorry I probably could have done this the first time

Is there a reason half of this bull is covered up by his name?  Big fronted? Straight?  I'll find out in a couple weeks.

Thank Mark, that would be great for those of us that can't be there, it's nice to able to actually see the bulls rather than have to take an opinion (good or bad) from someone that maybe doesn't look for the same things I do.

Will there be any out there with birth weights under 116#?

As far as the videos go, i can tell you that we are trying to get it set up right now to be able to do video in the yards of the bulls lose and not standing or on halter which should hopefully give a much more natural look at the bulls on the move.  I am not sure it is possible to get a "natural" look at bulls on the move when they are on concrete, but I assure you we are making plans to give it our best effort.  We are also making plans with several of the owners to do their pictures in the country around Denver before they get to the yards where they can be on dirt, which would be a much more natural look at the bulls, therefore whether it be positive or negative, you can more accurately evaluate the movement and confirmation on the bulls, or any bulls for that matter.  We are not sure how all of that will go, but that is a goal for what we are going to do this year.

You'll have to get in a long line but use the big exercise pen towards the back of the yards.

Actually we are going to be videoing several of the cattle that are selling in the yards, but the sales are online and that way people can see what the cattle look like presently that they would be bidding on.  We are going to try to get this done for a couple or three breeds and we are working with those breeds so that they can go together and sacrifice one of their overnight pens, to let us use it and hopefully increase their sales.  Can we pull it off, I don't know, but we are going to try.  Space in Denver is so tight, it is really hard to accomplish anything out there, but nothing is accomplished without effort.  We will let everyone know how it goes.

I would love to see more video of the bull "Eye of the Storm".  As far as flawless goes, never seen one.  He does look VERY cool.  Makes me want to know more about him, a lot more.  I do like how the video had him moving around in grass that was just high enough so that you couldn't see much besides how well he covered his tracks.  I understand why.  But I would like to see how the bull actually moves, all the leg and foot for sure.  That front right tends to swing out a bit on the move from the front view, that was the only obvious thing I seen.  I may not have shown that part of the clip.  He can't help it with that much power.

For the question about why the front end of  Sahara is covered, here is his original picture of Sahara without the ad. There are not any structure problems at all and the only reason his front end is covered is just that is the way the ad. was designed. To see him in person, you would love him through his forerib and how his neck lays smoothly into his shoulder. I hope that answers your question and hopefully you will get a chance to come out to Denver and see him. And I appreciate the person who posted his banner in the first place. I hope you like him. Thanks

Nice picture, it does always make you wonder when they cover up part of the calf it is usually because they are trying to hide a flaw.

See boys, here is an example of a powerful, stout, hairy bull that is NOT a carrier.

No reason...that's just how I designed the e-mail blast. I'm sure if you wanted to see the whole picture you could call the owner, it's a really nice picture.

Jill, between the 'limmi' type muscling and this I think you'd puke if you walked into a slick steer show.

(clapping) You win the prize, you made me laugh, I think you're probably right.Yea-well you dont-80% of the cattle today have shorthorn dna-FROM THE 3 ORIGINAL BREEDS FROM THE BRITISH ISLES-PROVEN FACT-you need to realize that color and resultant hide do not mean the cattle wont grade, or cant raise a calf-and at this point I feel alot of people have been too polite about how far the Angus breed has fallen versus alot of breeds-BLACK_RED_ROAN_YELLOW_WHITE ETC.If you cant judge an animal based upon its physical composistion and inherent live structural presentation-then dont expect people looking for quality cattle to patronize your so-called superior race of calves when the x-breds of ALL COLORS are lightyears ahead of what you have to offer O0

IF you want big birth weights use HEAT WAVE, being a little selective with some of his sons an not big birth weight type cows , 116 can be your top an a lot of them under a 100 , an most good cows should have a 100 lb. calf pretty easy ...

Not real sure who you're responding to, I don't raise Angus, I do have a few, we mainly use them for recips, we do raise Maine, Chi, Shorthorn and crosses, so save your lightyears ahead for someone that it applies to.  
I am modifying this post to clarify, the bulls I am referring to are the clubby steer type bulls, I don't care what color you have in a heifer, my comments are for the steer market.
I don't want color because I am breeding for the show ring and in this part of the country they still like them black and solid, I don't really care at this point how they grade or whether they raise a great calf, if they can't win a show the rest for me is immaterial, and the people that patronize "my so called superior cattle" feel the same way. 
I'm not saying these bulls don't have a place, I know there are a lot of slick shows that want colored up cattle, I only made the comment because that is the majority of the bulls I have seen coming out, no disrespect to the bulls owners, it doesn't make them a better or worse bull, just a colored up one.

Sorry if put across the wrong idea, wasn't picking a breed preference at all, we use Maine ,Keys , simmi, Half an full blood Charolais an Angus, or what they call Angus .  Went to a cattle auction the other day an learned what the description of Angus cattle  is , any thing with 4-legs an moo's an is mostly black .  Not being critical or trying not to , just the way it went, asked a vet on a bunch of the bred heifers they had a red tintish hair color across  their backs an I heard sometimes this was vitamin defeciency, vet laughed an he said that had been aasked that alot an on 99%  it was not a defeciency , reminded him of some of the  Key cattle traits ....

As far as the birth weight s some one mentioned some of the display bulls an 116 lb birth weights, an I was just saying if you study the sires an cow mating you can still raise some good marketable show calves an not have those great big ones . Heat Wave usually is talked about with big birth weights , have used sons an have had very little trouble, Monopoly sounds very good at calving ease , my prefernce for breed is the one I can make the most money with...
A friend the other day was telling me that he trucks fat cattle to slaughter on his spare time , he noticed at the slaughteer plants that is was hard to find a pen of cattle that didn't have the M  BRANDED ON HIP OR THE C for Canadian cattle , our cow herd in US IS at a very low number for our cow population...  I guess what I'M trying to say is that commercial cattle market is going to be very, very hard to make any money ...

Everybody thinks that the big pay day is just around the corner b/c of the low herd #s, but just like all of the commodities, transportation has become so much better and with the use of the worldwide web, it is such a global market that the world cow #s have to also get considerably lower b4 it's going to turn around. The united States will keep importing the cheaper product as long as it is available. JMO.

 

[farmboy]

one of Launters new bulls is a Checks in the Mail x Who (mother of the bull Dominator) that Oran Wolfe raised. don't know which one he is though.

 

[Telos]

Where or how can I see the video of "Eye of the Storm"?
