Long Angus Bull

[spears]

I am looking for an AI bull to put some length back into my calves. Which bulls would be best for this in angus cattle.

 

[Beefy]

thats helpful. since butt muscles have anything to do with length.

Lengthy Angus bulls that i've seen and liked almost always have some Traveler in them somewhere.

Nice long bull, I have one coming 2yr old Directive daughter that is very very nice. Definitely my favorite 2 yr old on our place. I have posted a picture of her here on the site, a while back.
The yearling bulls that I have seen show that Directive transmits his length to his progeny. His sire Millcreek Diversity is the longest bull I have ever seen.

One of our bulls is a Diversity son and he is very long as well.

Directive is available throught ORIgen and ABS.

Length has nothing to do with butts, TNMBP. While i do see a LOT of angus with funnel butts, i have to agree with Alacow on this one. Personally, i dont raise angus. A show friend of mine does, and her cattle are anything but funnel butted.

Spears. I agree with previouse posters. I really like Traveler, and New Design's length. Here's an old one, so don't laugh. I like a LOT of Leachman Saugahatchee's daughters, they have length, and depth, and everything else.

He is a little pricey now but EXT will put the length on his progeny and also make some darn good females with excellent udder quality. People ctiticize his disposition but I have never had a problem with his progeny's disposition.

Hyline 338 and New Day. I really like the Leachman Rightime Bulls for length.

Speaking of Marathon... what is your opinion of his calves? I almost used him this year & definitely want to next year. My tech hadn't seen many of his calves.

How easy fleshing are the 338's? I used him this yr. (no calves yet) but I almost chose 24J over 338 because 0f the $en numbers, kinda wished I had.

"funnel butt" is a made up thing, and is only used by a handful of people on this board. "funnel butt" A working bull, out with cows traveling a big pasture, no open cow policy. The same bull put on feed for 3 months becomes a bull the "funnel butt" critics like. FAT. The words "Funnel Butt" is not used by anybody in the beef industry. :lol2:

Funny! :lol: The term "Gimlet A$$" was used when I was a kid. :lol:

Yup. Everybody wants a fat bull but nobody wants us to feed 'em anything but grass! That's dang near impossible to do year round! :lol: :lol:

I'm glad you said that, Minnesota Ranch Man. That's what I think every time I see the funnelbutt reference.

Yup and I could say more about the "funnel butt people" BUT, I try to be nice. ;-)

thanks for all the info - I figured it was something like that! A bull as heavy as the one in that picture wouldn't last long on mountain pasture! I don't think our bulls would qualify as "funnel butts" but they don't look like "show ring" bulls either - they work for a living! and have to be able to get around.

SAV Trav 004 will put some length on cattle. The ones I have sure are nice and long, and the 1st calf heifers I have are doing a great job.
