Anyone know about the bull Radioactive (Short horn)?

I know where there's a Full-brother. He's only 40 minutes away from here, in NE OK.

We had 3 in 07, 1st 2 steers to sell and we still have the heifer, really nice calves.  They come big, ours were all 3 over 100 pounds, and they are a little straight in the hind leg.  He doesn't seem to be very consistant, some liked him some didn't.

Here are pictures of 1 steer and 1 heifer

Jill, very nice calves. I really like the heifer!!

Radioactive is out of a really good cow family. We will be showing a RA heifer this year. I saw him in Denver a couple of years ago and he was a tank. I'll attach the pic.

 

[showsteerdlux]

Wow you aint kidding. Did you see him walking by any chance?

 

[shortdawg]

No, but was one stout dude.

Saw him at the Ohio Beef Expo a couple years ago.  We were impressed, but didn't get to see him on the move.  How do you all think he might work on a Double Stuff daughter?

he is a pha carrier so be careful on those out of carrier bloodlines, such as double stuff.

I saw him when he was first at Beef Expo. Watched them walk him in the stall. He is very sound and up close and personal the real thing. Stout and sound. He wasn't all hair, there was substance underneath it all. I have not used him personally as I worry on PHC issue. I have few Double Stuff lines and have had all tested clean for TH now need to go back and test for PH. Have done a few but won't use anything that is of risk til I know for sure.

Thanks Red.  ;D

We used him before it came out that he was PHA, but we were flushing to a donor that was tested clean so we ended up ok, but if you have a possiblity of your cow being a carrier you will need to test before using him.

Have seen him @ Interglobe in IL a couple weeks ago, and seen him many times the last couple years there... He is moderate, stout, alittle straight, could use somemore depth, and not quite as thick as I had expected, very nice fronted, (pretty) probably not for easy calving though...

Thank you everyone for the info I am going to use him on my 3/4 chis. Hopefully it will be a nice cross with horns!
