Opinions on this bull?
Does anyone know much about this guy?
I'm thinking of using him on my Char, for her second calf.

He is a carrier of TH, which if you are trying for a show steer isn't a big deal. You'll want to decide if you want to risk the possibility of having a carrier heifer if the calf comes out that way. He has some really cool looking offspring, and a lot of show winners.

What is TH?

 

[gabbyellepaige]

Also has clones would they be carriers of the disease also, by any chance?

 

[Lucky_P]

Yes. A clone is a genetically identical reproduction, and would also carry the gene mutation for Tibial Hemimelia.

It's hard to beat the Monopoly show calves right now. The ones I've seen have been pretty consistent and there's a reason why they are winning the shows.

What is TH?

This is from the Shorthorn Association, but gives info on TH.
