It is a Mexican fighting bull. Once I got to El Paso, then George told me that 10 of the cows I was picking up, he got from a neighboring ranch, and that if they were bred, it would be to one of these bulls. I was kinda pissed but really didn't care if any were bred...not at $250.... but just assumed if they were it would be to a Corr bull. But all the way home I got to thinking about how these are the same height as Corriente just about all of this breed I have ever seen were black, so good chance they are homo black. And just look at the muscling.! These things have a full size head, are built like a beef bull, with half the size and as much or more of their strength. So maybe having half Mexican fighting cattle and half Corr won't be a bad thing, if the resulting heifers at least retained all the Plus-es that Corriente bring to the table with what we are doing. Easy keeper, parasite and insect resistance, efficient foragers,etc. But if they frame up and muscled up like this bad boy, then their angus calves might be a little stockier as they got older. Then you could sell them a little older and heavier. Now I hope all 10 of those are all bred to one like this. And the horn shape on these cattle are perfect roping, and seem to be a consistent shape, so if some of them have bull calves it would be fine.
P.S... No kidding about their full-size strength and power. A promoter up here bought one to use for cowboy poker, but decided that bull might kill a spectator that wanted to play, so he just turned it out for bull fighters to play with, jump over, etc. after each event. After one intermission when they got it out of the arena, some idiot in the back let into the bullpen. He hit a high dollar bucking bull right behind his front legs, right through the lungs, etc, and picked that 2200 lb bull up on its horns, and ran across the pen ,with that pull he shish-ka=bob-ed held 5 feet in the air like it was made of paper mache. Well, maybe one of those 10 is bred , and we will see.
