RX Shiraz U803 •
ASA: 2447832 Non CSS semen $20 per straw.
Shiraz is homozygous polled and performed extremely well on the RGV bull test. He was used naturally on a large group of cows for 30 days and held up very well while servicing several cows per day. The Gene Star tenderness is in top 10% and top 30% for feed efficiency.
Platinum produces heavily muscled growthy calves. He should be used on mature cows only. His daughters have made very good cows in our herd. His semen has been popularly used in Central America and South Africa.
RX Texas Red H862 • ASA: 2007794 CSS semen $20. Per straw
Texas Red is an easy calver and can be used on heifers. He is non dilute red and homozygous polled. He was tested for carcass merit by ASA and his progeny will marble well and are tender. His daughters make outstanding moderately sized cows with very attractive udders. His progeny have very good dispositions.
Amarula was the first Simbrah bull to be homozygous for the three Gene Star Tenderness alleles. He was also tested by MMI with their tenderness panel and scored with the top Angus with that as well. His first steer calves to be commercially fed gained very well. Since Amarula is line bred, his calves get a boost when he is bred to unrelated females. Amarula is homozygous polled, with a very clean sheath. His progeny all have very clean underlines.
Texas Sixty was the last calf from an old foundation cow that produced an excellent calf every time. He was raised as an orphan after his dam died. He transmits very correct sound feet, legs and udders on female progeny. Texas Sixty also has one copy of the rare 316 calpain marker for tenderness.
