Power if the first thing that comes to mind on this Revial son. He will come with a little more birth weight then some but his progeny will hammer the scales down at weaning. If you need to add preformance and not sacrafice maternal, here is a great option.

Ultra cool hip and hind leg construction and moderate. This deep cherry red bull is built to last with good angles and a big round foot. Off of a 7 year old cow, his maternal sib generated some excitement in our 2024 sale.
