[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 381217, member: 3972"] I have some pictures if I can locate them...all amateur photos. The Becker bred bull was featured in ads at the time. Yes, TPR was just getting started in the sixties, so little performance information isn't there until the later generations. We only recorded WW as we never kept a lot of the calves long enough to get YW ratios as a group. We never kept BW records at all. We measured height and kept other records like pigment, red color, amount of white, etc, but those don't show up on the performance pedigree. Also, Daddy was a religious record keeper that was one of the few that actually did what was requested and he returned certificates of registry to the AHA when he sold the cattle at the sale, after their productive life was over, so I assume that might be why we aren't still shown as the owners of record on some of those cattle. The FS 8 bull was sold before he was a yearling to a woman who had commercial cattle. I had priced him at a price 3 times higher than the other bulls we had to her and never dreamed that she would actually buy him. She only got one crop of calves from him before he was struck by lightning. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be the tallest animal in the herd! :lol: (I'm 6'5") George [/QUOTE]
