Name that bull

[giftedcowboy]

It is nice to look through these old photos and say "what if"...but we all have to remember lines of cattle usually disappear for a reason...using some of these bulls today would give me nightmares. With the progress we have seen in the past 4o years I ask how many would want to go back to the cattle of Governor Turner or Old Man Patterson etc ????

I believe #27 was Beau D4 (carried the hypotrichosis gene and Nash's culled everything related to him)
#35's friend on the post is ADV Z146 ("Sassy" as he was nicknamed)
I should know #35, looks familiar - kind of Pacesetteresque.

I don't know if we can call too much of the last 40 yrs progress. Seems we've ruined some good cattle to chase the fads. A lot of herefords ain't herefords anymore!

Yes that bull is Advance Z146 (Sassy). One of, all of our, favorite bulls ever that Franklin Nash and Family ever produced.

I quite like that old polled hereford bull now if I could just see his feet-his dam and about a hundred daughters.

 

[Hereford76]

hey northern - next time you talk to murray ask him about this bull - he's back in your 552 bull.

 

[Northern Rancher]

He's a thick old son of a gun-whoever he is.

3 year old post. Great history lesson on old time bloodlines. Almost as good (well not that good) as the Idaman stickie thread.
