We're excited about this one. Time will tell. He's a Super Duty out of a Catalina. I know the ear tag is wrong, he hasn't been tatooed yet, he'll be 901W.

Is that an offer? I purchased his dam (safe to Super Duty) at the Remitall sale for $2300. That was before Super Duty sold for $270,000.00. I'm not sure what we'll do with him. Maybe show him. Maybe send him to a bull test station in NY or VA. It's difficult to market bulls in New England, so we'll just watch him develop and make some decisions this Summer.

I think $5K is in the ball park. He has herd sire written all over him. I am a Catalina 24H freak. What was his BW? Did you sign any DNA agreement?

Its still early days, but take a photo of him at exactly two months old and compare that to him when he is two years old and you'll be surprised at how similar he'll look.

SOLD!!! When do you want to pick him up?
24H is actually the dam's paternal granddam. The maternal granddam is 139C (24H's dam). Also 24H shows up in the calf''s sire's pedigree. The bull calf is triple bred Catalina 139C, with 24H showing up twice. Maybe it's easier to just look at the pedigrees:

My other Catalina is out of a Keynote x 24H daughter. She will have a Silencer calf in March.
