[QUOTE="greenwillowhereford II, post: 605936, member: 7439"] Recently purchased a steer from Flying G primarily for freezer beef, but with the intent to let him double as a show steer in the local 4H for my oldest son. Since the 4H shows don't show steers by breed, we didn't have her to transfer papers on him, so I can't just read his pedigree and list it for you, but I do know that his mother was purchased bred from Star Lake, in the hopes of getting a heifer calf from the package, as a full sib heifer was what they originally bid on but went too high. Instead, a dandy, whopping bull calf was born. No problem, but he was over the limit on BW, hence we got the chance to purchase a steer sired by Star Bright Future. He's dark red, full pigment, very long and wide from end to end. He's got a little more leg than I like, and will probably be a frame score 6.5 or so. As gentle as you could ask for, has a natural stance that should bode well for the show ring. It may take a few weeks, but I'll see what I can do about some pics. His actual 8 or 8 1/2 month weaning weight was 856#. As I looked at the sale digest in Hereford World this month, I saw his half siblings ranging from $5,000 to $7,700. The dam had a "Ruby" cow in her pedigree that was the dam of a national champion a few years ago. This steer's dam's name is something like "Amgen." I think it says a lot for a program that they are willing to steer a bull with this kind of pedigree and phenotype because of high BW. [/QUOTE]
