That's how we ended up with Woody, my current alpha bull. Bought 2 heifer bulls and my fave got struck by lightning after having him all of 3 weeks (had the vet post him to make sure). Called my breeder that night and asked if he still had any bulls. He had one left that would fit my operation but definitely not a calving ease bull. Why didn't he already sell? Well, because of the aforementioned CE and, gotta be honest, he's ugly. Tall, rangy, NOT one you'd put on the cover of a catalogue. Breeder delivered him a couple days later and refused to take another check, said he guarantees his bulls the first year (even though clearly, an act of nature has nothing to do with breeding). I love this bull!!!! And he throws beautiful calves with a lot of help from the dam. BTW, Woody is now 5 with a whopping 46 cm scrotal circumference. He gets the job done!!!
