Well, we're really not supposed to be advertising. I just couldn't resist putting his pics up when I was trying to learn how to do it. I LOVE looking at him.
anyway, he's listed in the classifieds on the homepage of CattleToday. He's $20/unit.

Don't have a clue if this will work, but if it does, this is a Simmental (Meyer 734) son that we raised, kept three heifers out of him, and sold for some really good money.

No we are not taking him to Denver. He was shown at Louisville NAILE last year & was Div Champ. We had him with Chan Phillips this summer and he was shown at Simm Sweepstakes in Louisville, was Res Div Champ (biggest feather in our cap was that he beat WLE Influence! - that was BIG).
We had planned on returning him to Phillips after Eastern National & Keystone, but Chan said he needed to weigh 2000 for Denver. At Keystone he weighed about 1800 & we thought he was putting on too much outside fat, so we thought he would look like a toad at 2000#. We turned him out on pasture with 1/2 his ration of grain. He easily weighed 2000# in November with less fat. He must have had a growth spurt. Maybe we should have continued showing him but it is SOOOO costly & such a gamble. Even with a professional fitter, politics are wicked. We will be displaying him at Ohio Beef Expo in March. He is signed up with two semen companies. We'll let his calves speak for him now.

Good looking bull, and you should be proud! Does he have any Black Irish Kansas, wondering with the curly quarters?
Suprised so many Texans have a positive comment. Before you start killing me I do have several friends from Texas whom I respect, and if I had to leave South Dakota, Texas is a State/Country very near the top of my list!
Moving on, would you list the bulls ASA registration number. We raise Simmental/Angus F1 heifers, and feedlot the steers, not sold as bull calves. We've been using Nichols Shannigan F5, and WHF Desperado 212G sons in our breeding program in addition to AI'ing. with Angus cows. I'd be interested to hear how easy calving he was and what the calf stats are. We start calving in a month from the Shannigan son, and some AI sires.
Guess I'm going to have to learn how to post pics, so we can keep showing the Texans what BEEFY cattle look like!!!!!! :shock:

NO - he's actually very small framed - 5.6 yearling and was 5.3 when those pics were taken. He's 54" at 25 months old! Chan loved him, wanted us to go to NAILE & Denver. We were chicken to invest that much $$$ to go against WLE Influence again - he was 9 months older & 400# heavier than Macho. We beat him once - we'll quit there!!!ollie":2f6fnllx said:
The small frame, clean front, and all that meat is why the clubby producers are so interested in him.

I have used Desperado. Had a bull that was Grand Champion at all our shows & sold him as a calf.
Macho has a 89# BW, has the phenotype & pedigree/EPD's to be a calving ease bull. We bred him to 9 heifers & I know of a lot of other heifers bred to him. We have had 1 heifer calved here, 1 in Nebraska (that we bred) and several in Rome, NY. All have been 65 - 78# range. Came quick, easy & jumped right up & sucked. Just what we like! Just got a call from Nebraska last nigh about his newborn calf. Very pleased.
