Some pics of my bull selling in sue's private treaty sale. Tell me what you think. Would this bull do the shorthorn breed any good?

What frame is he? How much does he weigh? I'd like to see him a little deeper in the flank and maybe square him up a little in that quarter, thats getting picky, but nice bull. I could see a bull like him being good for the commercial industry as well.

Good and smooth through the shoulder, good neck extension, even thickness through the barrel and plenty of meat in the back end. He should be posted in the Shorthorn hfr calving thread  (clapping) A great all round bull.

 

[linnettejane]

what is he? details...

Good clean fronted straight made kinda bull that looks like he has some meat in him. How is he bred?

 

[justintime]

he looks very well balanced, and structurally sound made. I also would appreciate more details... pedigree, WW, YW and BW  ... in no particular order. Anyone who says there are no options in the Shorty breed, have not looked very far or studied the breed very long.

He looks good
Is he 3/4 Shorty/

 

[trevorgreycattleco]

Here is his story,
I have talked about him on here before at some point. He is a 3/4 shorthorn 1/4 RA. His sire reg # is DR0074 (Leveldale Mr Right) in the ASA. His dam is 4126405 (Lakeside Clementine).

Only one time did i find Rodeo drive and it is a ways back. No Trump. RB Eagle 148 is n there a couple times. Deerpark 13th a few as well. The reg papers on Clementine only list my partner (Rolling Rock Acres as the owner so I have not been able to register anything yet nor have I wanted to. He can be papered if needed. joe (rolling rock) is a fireman and a paramedic and is always working or doing something with his kids and we have not crossed paths in awhile to get this straightened out. He has lost interest in the purebred cattle deal and now breeds coon dogs. (dog) Mr Right is alive and well breeding joe's mothers commercial cows. She will not sell a female yet! She loves the bull and his calves. Semen is available on Mr Right as well. To be honest I had moved away from Mr Right the last few years but believe me i will be using him alot in the future. I think this bull is a more terminal type bull that should be breeding cows with those calves going to the feedlot. I will say he is not a heifer bull and I will tell you why........

This calf was born to a 18 month old female that I found at 3 A.M. after returning from Jamaica at 2 A.M. It was Sept 4 and she had just been exposed to the bull in June! Before June she was at Joe's and apparently Mr Right made a midnight ride or something. 8) Anyways I had to help deliver the calf. He was swollen and stuck half way out. I pulled him the rest of the way. It was not difficult but I still assisted. Now normally that dude would be steered but this guy's deal was a little different so i let him stay a bull. He looked like a bull from day one.
He weighed 90 lbs at birth. I have the ww and yw here somewhere but my tidy office is hiding them at the moment. Hope this helped. Anymore questions? feel free to fire away.

His dam is out of the same cow as my Clementine cow that I bought from Sue.
Mr Right is 50/50 from what I see.
That matchup sure worked, by accident or what ever.
What price is on him?
I don't see him pictured in Sues video with the prices.

Bob, I planned on mating her to Mr Right the following year. She was exsposed to a 7026 son I have. We just got it backward lol. The 7026 son out of her is coming on good now that she had last year. sue doesn't have a video because he is here at my place out running around with 329. Mr Right is a 50/50 deal. I have 3,500 on him. I would like to keep a semen interest in him for my own use. All semen the new owners sell is all their deal. Full posession as well.

 

[Okotoks]

I still like him! He's a very useful looking bull. (thumbsup)

If an 18 month old heifer can have a 90lb calf with a little help. I would say he is shaped right.

 

[trevorgreycattleco]

Agreed, but I would want to prove him before I claimed him a heifer bull. Nothing worse than a trainwreck on a heifer trying to calve. Been there done that, like alot of you I'm sure.

Not a Shorthorn fan, Very Nice Bull.  If used on a clubby pedigree, how would the females produce?

depends on how clubby i imagine, anything on clubby cows can be a trainwreck

 

[OH Breeder]

Truly is an outcross option for some of the bloodlines today.  How would one obtain semen again?
