Lothair Montana. Ace described him real well, saw pics of his herd bulls, and the only thing wrong is I should have drove up there to get him....maybe the next time!
would love to see that country

| Man, that a goodlookin boy! Reminds me when I work at a big pure bred breeder in vero beach that raised them. They were so pertular about there horn's bein the same, they would clamp on weights to adjust them. Is that still done? We faught pink eye, rope and docterin in the pasture. Sure was fun.

I thought you bought a bull at Ridder's?
Ace has good cattle. I don't think he'd steer you in the wrong direction.
What'd it cost to get him delivered? How old is he?

my brother in law bought a Ridders bull
delivery was thrown in for paying up front
coming two year old. I really like the potential he shows..looking at his herd sires i am real impressed!
the last two bulls I bought were from Oleens in Faulun Kansas...the semi that unloaded this bull was headed to Oleens for the next stop !
I felt like Ace was pretty honest and upfront. problem is waiting till next year to see the results!

he did make it... i was starting to wonder if they got delayed or something. Looks like he got nice a dirty on the trip down. he must have got p*ssed on abit in that second picture his left front sholder looks like the hair is rubbed off or something.
we couldn't have put many more bulls on that truck - it was tight. never tried to load bulls down in the nose of a cattle pot before. helped load bulls over at valier that day and it probably took a good half our to get five bulls down in the nose of that pot.
glad to see that bull made it fine and i hope he settles in well. that bull has as good as a disposition as they come - my boys enjoyed scratching that bull.
i tell you what - its just as exciting to send bulls sight unseen to new areas and new people as it is buying them. i want to thank you for the business and i know its a difficult deal to put your faith in a person half way across the country. i'll keep in touch and i look forward to updates on him. thanks again matt!

He's a deep sided rascal. Can you get a picture of him standing still Jigs?
Has he ever had any grain H76?

I love a good Horned Hereford. Must be in my DNA as Grandpa Ekker raised them. I bought a bull Saturday and will get some pictures up soon. Good job Jigs! Hope the wait til next spring is worth it!
