Shorthorn Bull

[randiliana]

Here is a bull that we bought from Coyote as a yearling. I am quite impressed with how this bull has developed. He is rising 4, bred 47/48 head this summer. We are hoping for good things from him. The only thing I would like better is if he were just a bit longer bodied. But he's been a very easy keeper, he's grown up on a hay and pasture diet.

And this is one of his daughters. Bred to calve in March.

We have a few more daughters, they are all just weaned calves, but I am quite happy with them so far. Tomorrow I will try for some photos of them.

What's the breeding behind him, who is in his pedigree?

I like your. I have a big soft spot fot good Shorties and you sure own a bunch of them. The only place i looked and didn't agree was the first picture that says replacement heifer. That's a real nice heifer(red one with the brockle faced cow) but don't forget her mother is living inside her somewhere.

His sire is Muridale Briggs 91T by Saskavalley Bonanza 219M and his dam is by Muridale Seal 64P

Well, looks like you should have 47 really nice calves coming! He sure stamps them with that deep red coat. Nice. He looks to have good muscling & volume.

Very nice. I plan to incorporate more bonanza breeding into my herd as well.

Randi glad to hear the bull is working good for.
We sure like his grandsire, Bonanza, he will be going out to work this spring at 11 years old.
Here is a picture of him taken a couple years ago.

I quite like the bull, but what find interesting is he makes his calves to straight, but looking at him he doesn't appear to lack set.

Awesome Coyote!

Knersie, I never really noticed that before, but the photos do show them to be pretty straight. I will have to study them a little harder when we are out next time...
