BAZINGA!! Not just another pretty face.



BAZINGA! Pictured at 7mos of age. Homozygous Black Smooth Polled THF/PHAF
Dam:Black Betty (Daines Miss 42U) Sire: Gigolo Joe BW:76

Once in a GREAT while you find a cow that makes your mouth water and you can't live without her. If you are lucky enough to get her into your program and she produces a fabulous calf straight out of the starting gate you count your blessings and hope that it wasn't a fluke. Then you probably do something crazy and take a chance at breeding her to something completely different because you want to see if it really was a fluke or if the cow is actually a rock star and can consistently produce a bell ringer. So, when she does it again out of a completely different bull you jump for joy. That female is no longer just another pretty face in the spotlight. She is a proven producer and a donor!

Bazinga was Betty's first calf. He is pictured at barely 7mos of age. This bull is incredibly massive, hairy, moderate framed, soft and sound and he can't be anything but incredible coming out of a young female like Betty. This bulls pedigree is stacked for calving ease, growth and maternal traits. He is now owned by Brady Lee of Charter Oak, Iowa but you can purchase semen from many distributors including Bunk House Semen at Nelson Cattle Company. We are really excited about this bull's outcross pedigree and his potential on both purebred and crossbred cattle/heifers. If you get a chance, take a look at him at Nichols in Ankeny.

OH YEAH, you might want to stop and see the Heat Wave heifer that is at Betty's side. She is a DIVA!
