Grass indeed... I drove through NW New Mexico a few days ago and it was more like this. Absolutely the worst cow country I've ever seen... and there were cows.

That's pretty much the definition of sparse right there. Survival of the fittest in that country. Those cows really gotta hustle and cover some ground to find something to live on.

They make some for real damn cowboys out in that country. I was at a Rodeo in Arizona probably eight years ago come this month and every single one of them folks was rock hard punchers.

New for this season. 3 were bought last fall but delivered recently, the Earthquake bull was an auction sale impulse buy. Names are of sires / sires family. Hopefully they do their job and leave a positive mark on 2024's calf crop.

What's the story on this bull?
I like Earthquake! But they're all tanks. Well done and hope they do well for you.

It's funny you mention Willow Astute as your heifer bull. I'd looked at the pics before reading and thought to myself that I'd only use him on cows with experience. I don't know the statistics on him, or any of them, but based on looks alone I'd be using Epic or Gage, in that order, for heifers.

If you see them up close you might change your mind. Admittedly his epd's aren't great, if you place much weight on such things. Remind me this time next year and I'll tell you if I made a mistake or not lol

I'll forget by then... but if you remember and remind me I'll be interested. Nice animals anyway. The anticipation of good things to come is why we do it.

Not my bull, but I leased him last year and picking him up Sunday, for 30 days clean-up again this year. LOVE his calves we had this year.

He was 3 years old in this picture, sired by an AI bull Hoc Broker and out of a cow family the owner purchased from me. He weighed 2300# when this picture was taken.
Damn! I LIKE him! Do they collct him for AI?

No they have not collected him. He is a really great bull. I normally had a 60 day breeding season. But, with our sale in PA and our vacation to Kauai, we decided to AI for 40-42 days and turn bull out for 30 days. So he is covering the cows while we are gone. After the 4 calves we got this year, I'm not so panicked about getting "bull" bred cows. His calves are as good as any of our AI calves.

There's a lot of steaks in that bull.
