From Chris Terembes:
Tiger Woods sold out at VIrginia Beef Expo. Breeders loved their calves this spring!
Sidwell Hay & Cattle (Gill, Colorado)
Tiger Woods x Average Full blood Chi appearing cow
Curtis Sidwell (970.302.8588) described his Tiger Woods calves as the biggest positive surprise of the calving season. “Even when bred to a TH clean cow, they have that hairy, big boned TH look to them.”

Rookie Bull Reviews
Listed in Alphabetical Order:
Boardwalk was our most popular “New in 2010” sire. We think it is fair to say he has proven himself worthy of last year’s attention. Similar to Monopoly calves in make-up, Boardwalk’s have all the bone, body, and consistency that has made this line of genetics popular. For first hand breeder review contact Greg Recknor (507.383.5517) of Hartland, Mineesota. He has a stout Boardwalk market heifer that Josh Greiner described as a “head turner”

Dirty Harry 2 has been working exceptionally on TH carrier females for raising both steers and heifers that look to be highly marketable. Safe for second calf heifers and beyond from a calving standpoint. Resulting progeny are Maintainer registration eligible. For first hand breeder review contact Kent McFarland (765.969.0477) of Lewisville, Indiana. Kent sampled Dirty Harry 2 in 2010 and this year increased his order to 20 units. His standout within the Dirty Harry 2 sire group was a Dirty Harry 2 x Shorthorn blue roan heifer.
Jesse James is the only Ali out cross on the market that we recommend for first and second calf heifers. From a quality standpoint I-80 and Jesse James have delivered the most quality calves that we have seen in our extensive travels on first calf heifers. For first hand breeder review contact Rick Frenzen (308.550.0174) of Silver Creek, Nebraska. Rick has an exceptional Jesse James x Hillbilly Deluxe that we are attempting to purchase for our fall sale. Rick sampled Jesse James last year and now plans to breed 30 units this year on all of his 1st and 2nd calf heifers.
We would put the overall body type and design of the Uno Mas calves up against any bull on the market. They are good boned, chubby, sound, and hairy. Uno Mas has increased in sales from 2010 strictly based on word of mouth calf reports from breeder to breeder. For first hand breeder review contact Adam White (608.732.8449) of Lancaster, Wisconsin. Adam sampled Uno mas in 2010 and will be breeding more in 2011.
