Not bad. I believe the brand on Holdens is actually a LH for Les Holden.
The bull is HH Advance C405. Born in 1964.
Here's what Lee Haygood said about him:
>>This 2350 pound bull is one of 5 Super ROM sires. Sons have topped Cooper-Holden sales on two occasions and 24 bulls out of C405 daughters or by a son averaged $8,618 in their 1974 sale. The top selling yearling bull at $35,000 was out of a C405 daughter, the second top at $23,500 was out of a son (CH Domino 053) and the top selling heifer at $5,700 was out of a daughter.
C405 is the thickest and heaviest quartered Line 1 bull we have seen plus being short marked and having considerable red pigmentation.<<
Pretty good sale averages for 1974. Would make good averages today!
They had semen for sale in 1976, wonder if there is still any around. I think he is a whale of a bull.
Also he was not a "pure as the driven snow" line one if you look at his pedigree.
