Rio Blanco sons have topped many bulls tests this past year off his first calf crop and with good carcass results also on amazingly moderate frame scores. One calf in an Alabama test scanned a 20 sq. in. ribeye! His first heifers are calving now at Lindskov-Thiel. His calves will add another dimension to the Charolais breed, i.e. growth, which we have lost much of.
I have bred lots of heifers to Rio and no problems.
One of the biggest pluses of his calves are getting up quick after birth. Have had the comment made to me, "if you don't tag 'em in the first five minutes, you may have to take 'em to the chute." :lol:
Alan, you are right on with the disposition attributes!
