What's the OLDEST Club Calf Bull on DENVER DISPLAY Anyone Remembers?

[jbh]

small reminds me of Warhorse - a shaggy little one - a yearling and still not waist tall - probably weighed 700-800, maybe- thanks much for the photos, reminds me of the fun days with good weather to view cattle - the bad times were often at the end of a long day of too-straight bulls standing tied all day and watching them struggle to walk back to their pens in the yard -

I can remember Warhorse too......but I'm not sure what year it was.  They didn't clip very much hair off him......purposely.....and he literally stepped on his leg hair when he walked!

Thanks for the pics ! I can't wait to get out there to see the new ones for this year.

I remember Kadabra. First time seeing that much leg hair.

I remember Kadabra. First time seeing that much leg hair.

I remember Kadabra also.....seems like he was on the very end row (hill side) if I'm correct.  I also remember Mossy Oak looked pretty good on display.

Thanks for the pics! Keep 'em coming when you have time please.  I remember Mossy on display that year too, he kind of stole the show.

its nice to get a new look at these bulls then the same old catalog pics used for their lifetime.

I'll try to dig up some pics I have of Salute and Radioactive. I think I posted the Radioactive pic on here before.

Was working in the office today so I done some digging.......here's some from 2001.

Here's some more from 2001.......that's Kris Black (standing) and Dean Kephart (sitting) in the one picture and a young Jerry Frasher and Jared Jarck in the other. Then there's Bart Elder and Gary Laab with Express Mail in one picture and JD Anderson's Black Power display that was there for years and processed its own fair share of promotion bulls through it, in the other.

Then I found some pics from the first year I displayed in Denver with Heat Seeker and Final Say, (a Nuf-Said x Sm/An that was way ahead of his time)......Also found a MATURE pic of Heat Seeker that I don't remember ever using....thought you might get a kick outa that!

Various other bulls......the picture of Cheap Trick was taken with my FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA.....it ate batteries faster than a fat kid eatin candy!!!  About the time you'd get the calf to hit the right pose.....the camera would go DEAD!

Ludicrous was an Outrageous x DeBull that looked killer as a calf....but never got very big.

No Doubt was probably there in 1999.....I raised him, he was a full brother to the Manning steer that won the Ia State Fair and Beef Expo in 96, and Dan May and Sinclairs bought half......that was the year that the Chinook winds lifted the back of the display stall OFF THE GROUND about 2 feet before someone jumped on it and held it down.  Signs posts everywhere were snapping like twigs.....

You see.....I'm NOT just a "LEGEND in MY OWN MIND".....I've got the stories AND pictures to back it up!!!!  (lol) (lol) (lol)

Great pictures Brad.  Heat Seeker was a beast even mature!  Awesome bull!

 

[farmboy]

the first picture I ever saw of Heatseeker was in the SEK book with his head down eating as a mature bull. filthy and had flies and stuff on him. On the same page as Flush.

I thought Cheap Trick had the prefect pedigree for making females. Brad, how have they faired? Don't hear much about him.

There was a high dollar heifer in the Dakotas a couple years ago that was out of a Cheap Trick dam and you occasionally here of others popping up every now and then......IDK....he was just kinda weird.....sometimes they were HARD, sometimes they were SOFT,  he had a few big time winners.......but just didn't do enough GOOD, probably, to hang around forever.  He was a good lookin display bull though! (for what that's worth)
