What are your guys thoughts on him. Here he is at http://cattlevisions.com/Hereford/PurpleCurrency.php

The authenticity of the pictures is questionabble for me. In addition he is so perfectly clipped and fit that I have a hard time telling what is real or is just hair and fat.

It seems we are seeing a lot more photos that may possibly be retouched again. Haven't seen so many since the 60's. Surely makes a sale catalog or ad look uniform.

Looks like he's an '08, what has he done? There should be daughters dropping calves and sons breeding cows or cut and through the feedlot. That would be what I would ask when we're talking about a 5 year old bull.

Here's a link to his EPD graph:

You can click on his name to get back to a place to look at his performance pedigree. He seems to have enough progeny out so that what you see is probably what you are going to get.

I hope this helps. Are you looking for show calves?

I have used currency and been around quite a few currency sired cattle.

He will make them extremely stout, wide bodied and hairy. They typically aren't the biggest cattle but they aren't small by any means.

My biggest problem with him is make sure you use him on a really good uddered cow. Not the biggest uddered cattle but milk flow hasn't been an issue from what I can tell.

Ask yourself what are they trying to hide with the badly photoshopped picture?
