A Herdbull Pic

[Julian]

Snapped a picture of our herdsire Steadfast Boaz T71.
Taken today, Thanksgiving Day 2011.
The only turkeys "Bo" is seeing today are the wild ones.

Nice bull! Is he a red angus?

Nice bull! Is he a red angus?

Yes, he is a Red Angus. We are appreciative that many have purchased semen on him.
He has an IBC of 18.97%, going back 10 generations with KinTracks software.
He will be 5 years old in February. The last time we took him to KABSU for a "day collection" we were able to get 359 freezable quality straws of semen.

I have a son of his with a linebred blk Gelbvieh heifer that is looking better every day. He has actually really started to bloom since I weaned him!

I will post some pics on here next week if I don't end up selling him on Sat.

Too bad you didn't get a slew of heifer calves out of him. I have a good size list of people wanting his daughters.

I actually want to PAP this bull calf and see how he does at altitude. BTW my buddy has 2 or 3 SH/RA/GV cross heifers out of him.

You have seen the pics they are very nice.

everytime I see a photo of Boaz it makes me wish I ran red angus..........

Awful nice looking bull, even if he isn't black. Looks like he has a good hind quarter. What is his frame size and weight? Did you purchase him or raise him?

Guessing he is around a 4-1/2 to 5 on frame score.
Would guess he is what most would call a ton bull.
Whatever he weighs is fine with me. Like me, I'm sure his weight is relevant to the groceries in front of him.
What matters most to me is the positive feedback I receive about his daughters.

On the black thing:
Just breed him to your black cows. If your cows are homozygous black you will get black calves.

I agree about the positive feedback. Got yourself a good bull there !!!! Breeding my females to him would not do much for the resulting pedigrees.

[Red Bull Breeder]

That all depends, folks wanting daughters out of Boaz would like the pedigree fine.

Liz and I sure hope everyone has had an enjoyable Thanksgiving.

Not in the Reg. Angus seed stock business. He would not help me at all. He still is a awful good looking bull !!!!
