You are on the right track. Shall I give you a hint?

2nd guess is Rookie....but give me another hint as well :)

Purchased in Canada: the shame is overwhelming, by a high profile breeder in the eighties from Texas.

That is failry fitting--a high profile bull to a high profile breeder. :wink:

The sad thing is there are those types of cattle from all breeds in that era. If only we had had everyone working at improving the cattle breeds rather than the games of the seventies and eighties.
How will history look at todays cattle?

Good Job Yanuck, Yep Perryville Esso raised by the Perrys, sold to Miller Wilson then sold to R&J. What were Angus breeders thinking? :shock: :???:

I don't think they were!! my husband fitted a daughter Raggedy Nessie which won Agribition as a calf. She was then sold to Circle G angus in Georgia for $20,000, they turned around and sold 1/2 for $ 80,000...little bit of useless trivia for ya!! :lol:

I would think there are just as many "games" today as there were back then. The game of constant change goes on - the game of changing colors, changing types, changing sizes. Yet the role of the beef animal has not changed - eat grass, maybe some grain and fatten into decent beef. It would seem that as an industry we are not making much headway "improving breeds" as the continually falling quality grades of kill cattle show.
Looking back will this bull look any more ridiculous than the #75,000 Angus bull sold in Scotland recently (to Texas again coincidentally) He is reputed to weigh over 2600lbs as a 2 year old and predicted to have a frame score of 9 or 10 :shock: :shock: The people I know that saw him commented that he was just like a huge black Limousin. I guess everything in Texas has to be bigger :wink: :lol: :lol:

Except now you would be somewhat hard pressed to find a LM like that... :shock:
I think the message in all of this is - understand your goals and stay the course. In the middle of the road the trend will pass you twice. :lol: :lol: :lol:
