The Milk Truck bull has a lot to offer for a purebred breeder who wants to breed Brafords with commercial appeal. As his name implies, he is a strong maternal bull with outstanding Milk and Total Maternal EPDs. He has bred-in productive longevity as his dam is now 10 years old and his sire is 9 and both are still functioning quite well in the pasture. He has great carcass EPDs and he scanned an actual ribeye area of 15.5 square inches. This polled bull is very easy fleshing, has a great disposition and has a lot of rib and volume. He has been shown quite successfully and the last three calves produced by his dam were heifers that we sold for an average of $5000. We are selling full possession of this true herdsire prospect. We are retaining at least a semen interest in Milk Truck. We'd also like to be able to use this great young bull once or twice if it could be worked out. We could use him this spring as a yearling and/or later in a period yielding December through January calves if that doesn't conflict with the buyer's needs. If you are interested in Milk Truck, give us a call and we’ll work out an arrangement where we can both take advantage of this powerful young bull. If you are interested in this bull, don't let our desires to use him some get in your way. We will work something out or step aside completely if necessary. Milk Truck had excellent semen and 35 cm SC and weighed 1300 pounds on 3/12. He's ready for some cows. New EPDs make Milk Truck more exciting than ever. A TM EPD of 20 is a rare find in the Braford breed. A REA EPD of .232 gets him in the top 3% of the breed and his MARB EPD reaches the top 10%. |

TINY SCURS |
|
|
|
| Rockstar is a true high performance herdsire prospect. His growth and carcass EPDs are rare in the Braford breed. Scanned just two weeks past his birthday, he had an actual ribeye area of 14.7 square inches and 3.68% intramuscular fat. His dam is a big, powerful, high performance Maverick daughter that weaned this calf at 701 pounds (no creep) when he was just 200 days old. Rockstar is about an even frame 7 and although we have always thought of him as polled, he has some very tiny scurs. This is probably not a heifer bull but this dark red, white-faced bull sire some big, high growth, clean sheathed and clean fronted offspring with very desirable carcass attributes. |

Dehorned |
|
|
|
This is a very good February Legacy son with some very good growth, maternal and carcass EPDs. His ultrasound profile was a good as any bull in the offering. At six days past his birth day and 958 pounds, he had a ribeye/cwt of 1.32 (12.6 REA) and 3.05% IMF with only .14 fat covering his ribs. This is the kind of ultrasound package we are all striving for. He is red with a white face and ring eyes and he has a very clean underline. This younger bull gets more impressive every day. On 3/12 he weighed 1025, had 35.5 cm SC and excellent semen. This is a complete herdsire prospect with outstanding EPDs and he belongs in a purebred Braford program. |

|
|
|
|
|
| This is one of the cleanest sheathed Hulk sons we’ve ever produced. He’s out of a good, moderate sized Leroy daughter and is polled. He is a dark colored attractive bull that had very good postweaning growth. 908 is extremely long in his spine and is clean and extended in his neck. He could produce some very nice looking heifers. At a frame score of 6.3 he could make a litter bigger bull than many in the offering. |

Polled |
|
|
|
| This dark brindle Legacy son has been a favorite of all who have looked at our bulls over the last few months. He is polled, stout and has shown a lot of growth since weaning. Other than the two bulls that were on show feed, he will probably be the heaviest bull in the sale. He too has a very balanced set of EPDs with a low birth weight EPD. |

LOT 8: TR GL BIG TOP 921P |

|
|
|
|
|
|
This red, white faced bull had a smaller birth weight and is moderate framed and polled. He is out of a very consistent Maverick daughter and by General Lee. He is white-faced and appears to be Hereford marked. His birth weight EPD indicates that he should work on heifers as well as cows. He is a full brother to “The Freak” owned by Bubbie DuPont. He has solid EPDs all across including excellent carcass EPDs. His ultrasound numbers were above average, too. Excellent semen and 36 cm testicles, this one is definitely ready to breed some cows. Don't overlook him because he's a little smaller framed. He's a complete BW, growth, carcass and clean sheathed package. |

|
| Power Plus has as good a set of EPDs of any bull in the offering. Look at his outstanding WW, YW, Milk and Total Maternal EPDs. He is a scurred, red white-faced bull with plenty performance. He has a little sheath on him but could do wonderful things when used on some clean made mostly English bred cows. This bull is really stout made. |

| General George is a very good March calf. He is a big, high growth son of Hulk’s dam. His Adjusted 205 day and 365 day weight ratios of 109 and 105 place him at the top of the offering even though his dam raised him as a fourteen year old cow. His EPD profile screams power. This young bull could become a big, impressive, strong maternal herdsire for a Braford breeder. |

Scurred |
|
|
|
| This scurred, moderate-framed Legacy son could make a good heifer bull and more. He fits the bill for those who want a bull with a small birth weight EPD and high Milk EPD to use on heifers. He was scanned at less than a year of age and still had a Ribeye/cwt of 1.19 and IMF of 2.88. He is scurred and red with a mottle face. He is clean and attractive and could possibly be a good choice to breed to show heifers and possibly produce show heifers. He's got a good bit of hair and could have been a very good looking bull if he had been pushed on show feed and clipped up a little. |
