Special sale attraction! Grass converting machine describes this cowmaker herd bull! His Dam is one of the most sought after females of the Angus breed. She is one of Kirk Duffs’, at Duff Cattle CO, all time favorite cows. She lived past 17 years DUFF PURE BEEF 217 old, and has produced several maternal brothers that are herd bulls in registered herds across the country. Maternal sisters have brought as much as $25,000 in past sales. I can’t wait to ultrasound him, he should have a huge ribeye. Not only does he have the pedigree but his performance went through the roof, with an 822 weaning weight. He had the look of a herd bull at a very early age. He is very wide, strong topped, extremely thick, heavy muscled, in a moderate easy fleshing package. He will be used heavily in my program. I’m very confident this bull will leave a mark on the Angus Breed.
