thanks everyone
hills these arent leaving our pasture ;-) well actually the second bull did, idiot jumped a barbed wire fence and cut his penis in half :roll:
aussie_cowgirl funny you comment on the two bulls. Although they are very different types, the second one definitely showed more promise when they were young, which is why I'm not often on the halter of the other guy
But the first bull grew out better, partly because of the type difference, partly because we pulled the second guy off the show circuit at 15 mths and put him with the cows ... the first guy continued on until over 2 yrs old on the circuit.
The bottom line is, both of them have sired calves for us, and both have sired very very good show winning calves. The second bull actually sired that Rosita heifer we were talking about yesterday (and she is on the females thread). The first bull has sired less calves (because he was on the show circuit, so the small number of cows were handmated to him) but still really top calves, show winners, the last heifer pictured on the females thread is by him.
The heifer here shares the same sire as the first bull, and her calf here is sired by the second bull
Clear as mud? lol
