Stud bulls

Following is information about bulls that are no longer part of the herd.  Information about current bulls is also available.

Superbum was too impressive to be a steer, but too closely related to most of our herd to work, so we were very happy to see him go to a Dexter breeder to 'beef up' their calves.  He was a full brother to Quintessence and Rain Lover and a half brother to Ristretto and Tails.
