Bulls

Parade of bulls….Red Lad….

20130917_31

Red Lad….known as X3 in the registry…is another descendant of Rotokawa’s 974.  “Lad” is six months to a year or more younger than the other bulls you’ve seen so far in the parade.  But we think he is in line to take over the job when U2 moves on.

The dam is one of our top 5 cows….R3….who I saw being calved years ago while visiting Lakota Farms.  I claimed her on the spot and Jeremy Engh made good on his promise and delivered her six months later despite Dad’s opposition.

Year in and year out, R3 produces outstanding animals and two of her daughters are in our main herd.  From time to time, Jerry Engh visits here and makes a comment under his breath to son, Jeremy….something a bit stronger than “I told you so”!

Red Lad is polled and just celebrated his second birthday this month.
