If Kenneth is selling them directly I’d take him at his word that they will be what he says they are.

Have never used a bull directly but have comm cows out of two of his bulls that we bought as bred heifers that are now 11 and nursing calves. I’ve spoken with him a few times and toured the herd several years ago; the cattle are no nonsense and work in a fescue environment.

Does propagating genetic defects not concern you when keeping bulls from cows with unknown history? I’ve used and continue to use dirty bulls but I know it and can manage the breedings, interested in your take on the subject.

He isn’t a heavy muscled bull, nor a really free striding bull. I’ve seen him a few times at genex in MT.

Some high CE bulls are that because they sire extremely narrow based, flat sided small live calves; it’s hard to find a bull that is highly proven to be a heifer bull that can sire base width, rib shape, and big tops. This is why I used him on the later type females in hopes of maintaining...

You’ll be glad you bred her to high stakes when she calves unassisted with a very vigorous calf. We’ve calved around 30 red angus heifers to him and haven’t touched one. As a bonus the females seem to be pretty nice considering the level of CE he has. I did bred him to heifers with...

The top bull looks like a junior herd sire prospect to me! Nice!

If both parents are registered angus, and the resulting calf is really good you may of hit the jackpot. Red angus can use an outcross sire with genetic merit.

Bred most of the heifers (high % RA) to WS High Stakes. We calved in a small sample of his percentage daughters this year and I believe he's going to work alright so with that being said we used our remaining inventory. Low percentage simmental (1/4 to 3/8) were bred to GW Predestined 701T...

Fairly certain Kirby lane is a co-op breeder there in missiouri so atleast those cattle would be bred for fescue. If you're serious about a bull and not just tossing around the idea than call them and ask them which bulls were specifically developed on fescue. Word from the wise when you go...

FSR have any Redheads? it seems like red Sim influenced cattle are starting to make alittle comeback in my area.

Do you have any calving difficulties with wide track? How are they as they mature? Hairy naturally?

A proven cow maker that may or be as mainstream as some of these young unproven bulls that are being mentioned is hooks xpectation 36x. He is a 3/4 blood and red but can moderate, fix udders and teats, sire them sure docile, make them yellow enough to work in the southeast; and has pedigree...

Some see SimAngus as a way to get commercial produces who have lived through the horrors of some of the older genetics. (The spotted, diluted bulls that sired large calves and daughters with sagging udders and pendulous teats) You can ease a person into using a PB after he or she has used a...

SS of the two bulls you've mentioned I'd use Redemption. I've got a neighbor that's all geared up about Legend as well but he is the product of a Fire and Ice mating and is unproven. His (Legends) sire is a -7 or around about for CE and his Dam is highly positive; Where he'll end up is hard to...

I really like the masculinity that he displays; but I would question the financial soundness of anyone who keeps bulls from their own herd without knowing the full pedigree with as many genetic defects as we have identified within the black angus gene pool in the last several years. Especially...

Any fear of johnnes from the guernsey cross?

FSR do you ever have any reds? I'd love to have red PB or at least 3/4 blood; especially one with a blaze that had some genetic merit with eye appeal.

I guess it depends on which side of the angus fence you're on with regards to upward. I'm a little old fashioned in my thoughts as to what the breed should do for me so he nowhere near fits the bill for moderating frame, milk, and adding fleshing ability. I kept a small portion of a mans...

I've not personally used the bull but did see him at World West in the spring of 13; very impressive over all but the one thing that really got to me was his back right foot. His claws weren't right, they were over lapping a little at the ends.
