Here's that bull I leased to Genex -I didn't know they had his picture on the website already. Kind of a big deal for our little outfit-I'm just lucky Murray and Cam Fraser gave me a chance to buy him. I haven't seen the bull since April he looks all right in the pic though. I guess the Fraser kids are showing two of his steers in 4H so that should be interesting. By the way my name isn't Chad lol.

Good numbers, solid looking bull. Will keep Fraser's in mind when I go bull shopping this spring.

Nice........ How tall do you think he is NR??

I really like the looks of your bull. I wish we had some Herfs to use him on!

A quick question--I see his numbers are figured by the AHA. Does the AHA figure the Canadian Hereford Association's numbers? Now, the American Red Angus Assn., figures the Red Angus cattle's EPDs in the Canadian Angus Association's herdbook. That is nice as it makes using Canadian genetics a little easier, meaning their EPD's are on the same scale as the US numbers.

Good eye to get that bull bought. We wish you the very best in getting lots of semen sold. Selling a bull to a semen company was a big deal to our little outfit too. You have a lot to be proud of---

Cheers---

Yup, a real nice bull. I always thought them horned herefords was the best bulls to get out and get the cows bred. They didn't run around in packs like so many of these polled ones do.

I sure like his numbers. what would it cost for seman on him? No more cows than I have, maybe i should just AI them, specially as the new young man next door can do it for me.

Some of the best cows I ever had were f1 hereford longhorn cross.

Thanks everyone-I'm not sure how much input I'll have on pricing but I'm sure he'll be priced within a commercial man's means. I look forward to a roadtrip in '08 to look at some calves of his. As for frame score I'd guess him a 5-6 at the most he's definately not a tall bull. I talked Murray into using 552 on his best Horned Hereford cows hoping to get a good son off him. Their sale is midMarch in Brooks.Alberta hopefully some of you can make it. Murray and Cam are just good honest ranchers whose cows happen to be registered-not an ounce of hype in them. They must have 250 pretty darn good Black cows to.

Here's an Angus bull to get the black part of the baldie with that Hereford.

I have been looking after his momma and some herd mates, I bred 30 cows to this guy and 10 more to his daddy then bought a brother and used him on 30 more.

Good Canadian raised bulls look set to produce lots of good beef worldwide again.

Nice Hereford bull. I see his sire was bred by Harlands at Texhoma,OK.. I have been through that set of cattle many times and they were one of the best sets of cows of any breed I ever looked at. Never seen them thin even on the short grass in the Oklahoma panhandle. We showed several heifers out of their herd. They dispersed their cattle a couple years ago after Jerry's untimely death. It was a shame to see that set of cows scattered all over the country.
