ALUMNI was the overall top performance and ultrasound scanning bull from a very stout spring 2010 born calf crop at South Dakota State University, ranking #1 in his contemporary group for adjusted weaning and yearling weights and ranking #2 in his contemporary group for both %IMF and REA ultrasound scans. He handled heavy breeding duties as a yearling bull at Cow Camp Ranch last spring, froze a good bank of semen during the early fall, and is currently breeding a large group of cows at Gibbs Farms. ALUMNI has been in his working clothes since the day he was picked up at SDSU last spring and never really given a chance to develop and mature, but you still must admire his heavy muscle, deep rib shape, great feet and legs, along with a striking profile. Ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Marb, REA, Api, and Ti, while still falling well into the top 10% of the breed for CE, WW, YW, MCE, MM, & MWW, he is the homozygous black and homozygous polled Shear Force son the industry has been looking for. |
