Hey matt, we talked breifly on the phone the other day. We have had great year calving and are pleased to report that some of our best calves are out of Monopoly and I-80.I have been extremely pleased with the consistancy of our I-80 calves that have hit the ground this year. Within this email i have included an attached picture(taken at only 3 weeks old) of what we think could possibly be the best one we have laid eyes on. She is a I-80 x wisdom/goldenchild (purchased from Goet,and raided by reynolds) I have also put a picture of the cow that we took at week before calving.We also have a monopoly calf out of the cow that raised Ryans steer that won Purdue AGR and much more. At this point we beleive that the monopoly match up has worked better than frictoin because we beleive the calf is much better than ryan’s. Love to have you through. any questions?

Hello Matt,
Thought we would pass along a picture of our son’s steer. He is sired by Monopoly and out of a Lifeline x Meyer 734 cow. He has done very well so far for us. We raised him. This picture is at the Oregon Hereford Spring Sale and Jackpot where he was reserve champion steer. The Lifeline/Meyer cow is one we purchased from Val Reiss back in 2005 as a baby calf. She has done well for us.
Sincerely,
The Bartels Family
Prineville, Oregon

Rookie Bull Reviews

Spread the love!
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.

Matt,
 I’m Colby Olson from Kimball South Dakota, I’m not sure when you guys are swinging through SD but we have some solid Tiger Woods, HW5, Bojo,I-80, and I Am Legend calves on the ground. We have some questions on what type of cows monopoly works best on, and would also like to buy some semen from you.
 Thanks A lot,

Blind Badger Ranch has a great overall group of calves as far as depth of quality. Some of their standouts were sired by Monopoly, Bojo, Tiger Woods, Boardwalk, Heat Wave, and Maine Anjou sired calves. Thanks to Jim and Brian for the tour.
