I am a Red Hills fan and like these bulls as maternal sires:
Red Hills 13R Ripper 28U
1 BWJ Julian 17P
RHF-BUF U199 Lancer 157Y
Of course, I have no actual experience. What do you all think? All have semen available.
We have females in Production by 17P and yearlings being exposed right now aswell as calves on wet sept/oct calving two year olds by 28U.
17P does several things right, calves come easy and grow like weeds; generally have exceptionally light colored coats with great hair for the southeast. He sires great bone with exceptional muscle for a CE bull and a great foot and flexibility.
You can't blanket a cow herd with him though as he isn't in our findings an udder improver, in fact he has been fairly inconsistent on udder and teat quality. the other downside to the bull is some of them can be alittle high headed, not man eaters but they're always thinking about what you're about to do; almost like they can smell that you're going to catch them and they aren't going in there unless you chase them( wife leads our cattle with a white bucket and soyhull pellets).
I have high hopes that the 28u cattle with be alittle calmer but still deliver some of the good of 17P( his maternal grandsire) along with being a Romeo descendant on the top side. 46S is a steller little cow, she didn't weigh over 1000 at weaning for several years. The yearlings we have now were born to 3 yrs old the fall before and they were stand outs thus we used more semen. the 2 yr olds that stuck to him calved unassisted this fall and those calves were very vigorous and look very promising as future replacements but their steer mates aren't light muscled puds.
157Y was a really nice calf and there is a video of him on you tube taken as he walks across a field as an older bull. His dam 85S is a full sib to 84S (one of the highest use RA bulls not in a major stud) and was a really good moderate cow until she became stifled and was lost early on).
We have a few wet T189 2 yr olds and I really like what they have to offer, exceptional width, barrel, and udder quality in a small to moderate package depending upon dams.
I've been trying for years to get an 84S son bought but can never seem to get ii accomplished at Red hill and that's the reasoning in not using him A.I. either.
