This is a picture that I took of my home raised herd sire, Terpning, this last weekend between rains. He is not happy that I've let Bailout do the majority of the work here this year!  |

Nice looking bull George, how's he bred? Thanks! He's sired by C LR DIESEL 2030 ET, who was a flushmate to C NOTICE ME ET:  His dam was sired by ATLAS DIRECTION 19K, who was a son of Keynote out of a Line 1 dam:  And her dam was a daughter of DR ACHIEVER 8403 who was also linebred to GK GENETIC EXPLOSION and KING TEN on her dam's side. Here is a picture of Terpning's dam as a calf beside her dam:  Here is a link to Terp's AHA pedigree: www.herfnet.com/online/cgi-bin/i4.dll?1=3E3F292A&2=2434&3=56&5=2B3C2B3C3A&6=5A5D5B59592558202F&9=51515127 |

I like him, how is he for width? Harley, he is plenty thick and wide. He may not be quite as wide based as his sire, Diesel, was as a mature bull, visually, but I don't think there is much difference in the thickness that he passes on to his progeny. Here is a rear picture that I took of him as a calf:  That picture serves to remind me of how dry it was here the year that Terpning was born and how little grass we had then. |

Thanks for all the good comments! I am probably my own worst critic of my breeding program and the results. When I took this picture the other day, I looked at ol' "Terp" and realized that he really hadn't had anything but hay and pasture since last November. And he has probably spent less than a month total where he was getting any grain since I first turned him out with the cows as a 15 month old bull three years ago. I think he looks pretty good!
He did get to breed one cow and 3 heifers this winter ...and I'm probably going to turn him in with 3 or 4 more heifers in the next few days.
When Bailout goes back to Perks next year, I plan to restart my 100% AI sync program on the cows I have left and "Terp" will get clean-up duty on the polled cows...and if one of these 40W sons doesn't test as HYF, he may get clean-up duty on all of the cows.

George,, So pleased to see that "Terp" is getting some work done for you. He sure is a solid Hereford bull.

It's a pity there's so much water between us George cause I could find some girls to keep him company for a while.

George looked at the GBR breeding on Atlas. He goes back to Cammack breeding. I was raised in the area of his place and his Dad was the one who helped teach me to rope left handed.
