Nice. Who are the steer daddies?

 

[CosgrayHerefords]

The first steer is out of AA Kodiac 376 http://www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i ... F&9=5B535B
The second steer is out of AA Boomer 444 http://www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i ... 2&9=5B535A

It might be the light, but see the color of red pigment in the last one relative to the other colors you just posted? If so, that color of red is what I am looking for.

He is a dark red calf

Here is a bull we just purchased this past weekend at Able Acres annual sale in Wingate, IN. He is a Feb bull calf out of Remitall Online 122L. This picture was taken awhile ago from them. When you get behind him is where you truly appreciate this calf. He is thick butted, wide topped, freaky fronted, with massive bone. I'll try and get some pics of him when we bring him home.

I really like the look of the March bull calf, nice hip structure and rear legs. I also liked the AA bull you bought, the other AA bulls had too high BW EPD for my taste. Nice cattle.

We had a problem with AA Boomer 444 with pulling calves and he is now hamburger. AA Kodiac 376 has not really had calving problems and I can't remember a calf of his where we had to pull.

How did the bidding go for him...was there allot of demand for him? Who is his dam?

 

[CosgrayHerefords]

It was mostly between us and two other bidders. It was pretty competetive and they stopped once in between for the breeder to talk about the bull. His dam is AA Miss Airwave 6119. He was lot 1 from the catalog.

 

[HerefordSire]

It appears you could be sitting on a gold mine with the 122L son. There were many Online descendents in the catalog.

What is your frame score average for you herd?

 

[CosgrayHerefords]

I would say around a 6.0 maybe 6.5
