don't know anything about him. but he's a hoss of a bull, on just his looks.

 

[I luv herfrds]

Nice looking bull.
Sorry I don't know anything about him.
What are your plans?

 

[KNERSIE]

Depending on what your goal with him is, he is a super bull for commercial cow making purposes. For studbreeing purposes he should be used on cows with good heads and eyes. Felton's genetics still has a lot to offer, but they can be a bit plain headed with not the best eye pigment or eyeset.

lookin' at him again i see what you mean... i bet he would make some awsome baldies

 

[milkmaid]

Black baldy is what I'm after... have a black cow I'm considering using him on. Goal is either a replacement-quality commercial heifer (to sell) or a nice market steer for our freezer or for a 4H project. Basically just a good all-around baldy calf. Cow is ok; nothing special looking but nothing awful either. I'm kind of looking for a bull that would sire calves that look just like him. Just wondering if Magnum is one of those bulls that throws a uniform set of calves almost regardless of what the cow looks like.

Haven't seen to many in person, but the few I've seen looked good and they were out of very average cows

I have some Brangus cows that would sure throw some Super Baldies. Good looking bull.

The field rep at the local Coop used him last year on some reg Herefords, com. Simmi's and Angus cows. I have not seen them yet, but he claims they are very consistent with added thickness. So much so, that you could easily pick out his calves from the rest, no matter who the dam was. I think he used two other bulls, one Angus and another Hereford, which I think was VPI limited edition. He said he was going to keep most of the Magnum heifers for replacements, and none of the other two bulls calves

Good to know, thanks for the info folks. Next question... do you know where I can find the price/straw? I searched the SS website and can't seem to find it. Can't see the point in ordering the entire catalog to get the price on one bull. :lol2:

This place has it for 20 dollars. But maybe you could get it cheaper if they had commerical semen for Select sires ?

[rocket2222]

Its $20/straw at SS priced in a ad in Feb. Hereford World

 

[greenwillowhereford II]

I would agree with Knersie. For your intentions, he should be hard to beat.

 

[remsteel6]

I haven't used him, but I have ordered some of his semen to use for next year.
