Can anyone give me a list of popular bulls from the mid 70s to mid 80's or tell me somewhere where I would be able to find them? I've been looking for a couple weeks but can't really find anything.
BTW, Im looking for a bull that had a Pioneer brand and I know that he had a very simple name. But no one can remember it and the only other person that might know is very hard to get in contact with.
Thanks
Pioneer Beef Cattle Company had a herd in Iowa years ago. They used the "PBC" prefix. They concentrated on Victors and had a good "Citation" (TF Beau Mode 23x) son they bought from Glenkirks. They used some Prospector as well and probably others. I think they put out a lot of bulls there for a few years in the 70's. I believe they had an Angus herd also. They used to use a lot of numbers in the cattles names and not much for actual names, other than the PBC prefix and a group of numbers. I did a search on the AHA website of "PBC %", "active" and "a sire" and came up with this:
http://www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i ... 2B3C2B3C3A Several of these bulls are owned by outfits that are still in business, ie: Weise, Ohnemus. Some were AI premitted and there could be semen stuck around somewhere. If you find the bull you are looking for and you are having trouble finding the owner, post it and we'll see if we can come up with something for you.
OK, link won't work, so I willtry this:
