Chris, These pics are proof of the hard work your family has put in hard building a herd. Any member can be a tour stop, whether they have registered or commercial cattle. Just tell Tom Granzow if you are interested for next year when it moves to NE Kansas. Bob

920 is a sure fire breeding bull. Progeny look very useful. To answer your questions, 85Y by 38T acclimated very well and did not melt when introduced to fescue and humidity even though he did not arrive in Arkansas until early April 2013, and went out with cows approx. 2 weeks later. Slicked off extremly well and majority of calves are slick as well. Will wean first calves in October, and thus far birth weights higher than I like, and throwing more chrome than expected, but exceptional performance. Pigment is inconsistent. I will update as bulls calves are developed, but long suit is most likely going to be the females. The Anderson bull, 266Z, had more hair than anticipated but shed off much better than expected. He held up very well and no melt as he did not get here until April 12, 2014. Dark in color and short marked. His breeder recommended him as a heifer bull both in the catalog and in conversation prior to the sale. Scanned 1.27 REA per 100 lbs. He was put in with all of the Spring heifers beginning May 4, 2014. He will get all of the Fall heifers in late November along with some mature cows. Will not know anything else until heifers calve and then pivotal questions can be answered. Will keep you informed as soon as they start hitting the ground. Been very lucky with bulls acclimating. Lost my 22T son from Gus, so looking at a bull at a different Canadian breeder for 2015. pretty sure i seen that bull on the trailer in route to you.
