No knowledge of the breed, but that individual looks real good.

I think if he adds the depth he shows and extra bone he is a herd improver ..

That bull will move the breed way ahead here in the US. Need that extra depth and spring of rib to be able to eat enough rough forage to survive in some places.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on 10 straws and by the sound of it I was pretty lucky that he had some to sell. Pretty sure there will be an abundance of calves coming soon.

Are cross breeding or using on other Pieds?

Very impressive bull. I like the American version. Maybe you can convert Randy? I bet he's imagining what he'd look like RED.

Tater, I'm only breeding 100% Piedmontese now. I have crossed them and they didn't sell well here.
Like that's possible. lol

I was pretty sure that would be the case, just wanted to see what you'd say! I would sure like to see what the result would be using him on a couple of you're good Limousine cows.
