LOT 9 | FARM TAG 9/200 SMITH | MARCH 2015 | WHITE | 84 lbs BW SIRE: TR FIREWATER DAM: 0641 PUREBRED CHAROLAIS

Some people talk about opportunities in the Charolais world and we feel this is just that! 0641 is the most dominate donor in the Charolais breed today. With over $2 Million in progeny sales, this cow is considered to be one of the most consistent donors of any breed today.

The heifer calves born to this mating is astonishing in itself.

The more famous ones are: Ivory Angel owned by Sullivan which was the $75,000 feature in Louisville. The recent heifer calf sold by Schaeffer and Tice for $75,000. Firefly, the powerful donor for Garwood and Effling among many many other heifer calves selling from $15k to $100k.

These two bulls are full brothers to Mr Turton, which was a National Champion. Bottoms Up, who was recently highlighted in Embryos On Snow in Denver, which was calf champion in Kansas City. Rapid Fire, who was the 2011 Grand bull in Denver and many many more Champions and high sellers.

maternal

The influence of Charolais genetics in the club calf industry has been one that has hit the world by storm the last few years. Charolais cross steers have won as many state fairs in recent years as the blacks.

These bulls have the potential to provide the best cattlemen with an opportunity to introduce the best Charolais genetics anywhere. You will be glad you bought one or both of these bulls come a year from now! Tie hard here!

He is huge bodied, great structured, big nuted, and stout.

He will leave behind some great females. THF PHA test by sale day.

This is not your ordinary High Maine. He is soft made in his pattern and structure with plenty of rib and dimension. He moves out with plenty of flex and on nice big feet that all point the same way.
