Rainbow River NAVAJO 53K

What can I say about this special feature bull that isn’t already said by his photo and his pedigree? He is what his photo shows. Long, deep, full through his flank, balanced and correct in his lines with that perfect front third and a herd bull head. His feet are good and so is his disposition. Boy, did I ever strike it lucky when Navajo tested homo polled! Dark red cattle are in demand these days and when they come this good, and backed by cows like 2Y and 3007A, the guess work is eliminated. 3007A has been a breeding machine, producing not only one special individual in the $150,000 Yuma, but also a $130,000 full sister that just sold at the R Plus dispersal in December. The special ones always have “the look” from day one and I could tell that Navajo was special from the moment he was born. He has never had a bad day. He’s consistently looked good through every stage of life. He has been picked out by every single visitor to the farm over the past year, sales management included. He has an awesome set of numbers and if you’re wondering why his BW doesn’t match his EPDs, it’s because of his recip dam. She’s a 9 year old cow and as she’s matured, she’s been throwing too much BW into her ET calves over the last three years. Knowing that, I’m pretty certain that Navajo’s calves will come much lighter at birth than he was. We look forward to using this special bull to advance our program as we plan to retain semen for in-herd only use.
