I know this bull is freaky and is a double carrier... however, if used on plain non carrier cows do you think that the calves would be good? Has anyone used him?

 

[FarmerWanna-Be]

Im not for sure on this but in my opinion from the picture he doesnt look structurally sound. He is super extreme in certain areas and not well balanced. I wouldnt risk using him on any cow. There are a lot of other good bulls out there.

 

[cattlejunky5]

i agree! i don't think I'll ever use him. his rear wheels are terrible!

 

[FarmerWanna-Be]

Absolutely. Those back legs are WAY to straight.

Know of a couple guys that used him bc they saw him and said he wasnt that bad...... never heard any calf reports though so im guessing they just got along ok

I bought a heifer one time out of him, she was structurally sound, correct, the only problem was she was a little tight in her back end when she walked and her back legs were pretty straight,  but she was a really good heifer, you could hardly notice those two flaws if she walked by.

So you are saying she was structurally sound, just wasn't quite correct and structurally sound enough?

a Red Zone heifer sold this fall in one of the online sales on Breedersworld.  Brought over 10,000 if I remember right. Not sure which sale it was though.

 

[cattlejunky5]

I do remember that heifer. She is what peaked my interest in Red Zone. She was out of a shorthorn cow i believe. And i think she brought $7,500?

 

[Bradenh]

i like him, may use him on some maine x char cows. just to try it.

My friend tried him and had a decent steer...No structure problems just a decent county steer.

 

[cattlejunky5]

This was that heifer. She brought $9250... my bad. I like her. Thoughts?

I said she had a small problem, and I am pretty picky, and she was out of a who made who cow

I do like that heifer
