The following Sires are in active service at RUNNING ARROW FARM. And...they are/will producing very impressive offspring for us!
All of our Longhorn sires are available for on-site service at Running Arrow Farm and limited frozen semen is also available on Rebel, Red Magic and Phantom. Phantom and BAR B Q are the only A.I. Certified Herd Sires for RAF at this time.

BAR B Q
( Roundup x Teriyaki )
C: 6-5-1999
B64634 P.H. #934
A.I. Herd Sire # 571
2002, 2003, 2004 Longhorn Show Case Champion
We are now offering a "very limited" amount of Frozen Semen of our Sr. Herd Sire: "BAR B Q"
Semen was professionally collected and stored at an A.I. Station and has only been moved 1x professionally to a 2nd A.I. Station in Kansas.
We have never offered semen before on BAR B Q and there has only been a limited amount sold previously.
No minimums.
$200.00 each straw shipping extra
Call Sandy 806-205-1235 as Bill cannot hear most phone calls.
Many in the Longhorn Industry believe Bar B Q is the "Best Producing Son" of "Roundup". He has proven this by producing several cash cows, along with having already produced $100,000 dollars worth of sales of his highly valued daughters/sons and semen sales for his former owners.
We believe Bar B Q to be one of the "Top 1% of the Texas Longhorn Bulls" and will definitely take us to new heights for RAF.
"IF" Bar B Q had not tipped his horn he would have been the first bull to go over 100 Total Inches of Horn.
We are totally excited about BAR B Q and the quality genetics that he brings to our herd as he allows us to persue horn and still maintain body for that total package in our calves !

We thought long and hard about how to 'best' bring in a son with the famous lineage of
"Hunt's Command Respect".
We feel that this Double-Bred Son will fully enhance our Roundup/Overwhelmer/Jet Jockey Genetics that we have built our cowherd with.
Red Magic 28's dam line has daughters of: Hunt's Command Respect, Roundup, Rawhide and Tabasco for high quality dam producing lines making for a 1-2 punch with both high quality Sires and Dams to fill out his pedigree.
We are seeing the laid back horn with a twist at the ends on Magic's calves. He is doing what he was bred to do. Passing on his lateral horn.
Magic's Exposed Females Lineup:
(For Sale) Spock's Black Shadow = Spock x Shadow Worshipper

Rockytop carries 40.625% of Roundup Genetics of which 20.3% will be passed on to his calves for the top half of the calves pedigrees.
We believe the pedigree of "ROCKYTOP DIAMOND" an own son of the up and coming "Smoky Diamond" bull. Rockytop has a pedigree that will fully compliment the bloodline of "Red Magic 28" and both bloodlines are proven to "click" with each other in a totally awesome way that is proving to be the matings of today and tomorrow.
Rockytop's Lineage includes such proven greats as: Hunt's Command Respect, Roundup, Coach and Wyoming Roundup. Now add in the dam lineage of Miss Rodeo America, Tumbleweed 2, Sparkle 25, and a double dose of Frosty Diamond and her dam Diamond Dust 89.... and you have a pedigree that is fully stacked with proven quality horn genetics. Rockytop's 2010 calves will be available for sale.
Rockytop's Exposed Female Lineup:
RAF Phantom's Bambi = Jet Black Phantom x J.R. Overstreet
RAF Phantom's Ozark Brown = Jet Black Phantom x Ozark's Mist

We were excited to see this solid black son of Roundup himself to hit the ground the day he calved. Rebel is part of Roundup's last natural calf crop.
As far as we or Ken Kirkham know, Rebel is the ONLY Known SOLID BLACK Son of Roundup.
Rebel's only full brother is a Blue Roan bull being used as a Registered Herd Sire in southern Texas for the past several years. Rebel's full sisters are in full production in the Longhorn Industry and are much prized by their owners.
Rebel will bring color correction (possible blue roans) and an proven outcross to the Roundup/Hunt's Command Respect Lineages we brought into our herd this past year while still keeping Roundup in the mix. Rebel was put into service for RAF in July 2009.
Exposed females to Rebel:
Blue Mountain Jade = Caruso R3 x Blue Mountain Sassy.
BBR Pickett Fence = BBR Kamikaze x Black Wall
Rag Tag = GF Jayhawer x Red Rags
RAF Spock's Double Angel = Roundup's Blue Spock x Sage's Shadow
RAF Phantom's Betty Boop = Jet Black Phantom x SD Miss Gracie
(For Sale) Emperor's Pretty Gal = Emperor's Fame x D-S Too Cool Gal

Roundup's Blue Spock (REFERENCE ONLY)
(Roundup's Purple Sage X Ozark's Mist)
Calved: 12.3.03 ITLA Reg. #239262 TLBAA Reg. #B172996*

Following are 07.09.09 measurements
Weight: 1750# Hip Ht: 56" Total Horn: 72" TTT Horn: 53.5" Horn Base: 14.5"

At coming 6 years of age, Spock is maturing very nicely. He is eye candy with his darker blue roan color and beautiful build. Back as a 23 month old bull, he placed Second in his class with 57.75" of total horn at the TLBAA Horn Showcase at John Justin Arena in Ft. Worth, TX. in November 2005. He is still maturing and his horn should have been close to 78" at maturity based on his yearling measurement. He loves digging in our deep sand and polishes off his horns much faster then he grows them. Because of his continual digging, he doesn't have the impressive rack he should have... but the "Owen McGill Genetics" in the top half of his pedigree and the "Ozark Mountain Queen" genectics are still there to be passed onto his offspring.
Spock's calves are high quality with nice colors and have been selling quickly! He is a son of: 'ROUNDUP'S PURPLE SAGE". He is double bred "Tabasco" with "Roundup" as a grandsire on topside and "Ozark Mountain Queen" as granddam on bottomside. We also own his dam, "Ozark's Mist", and she continues to produce high quality calves for us. (We are keeping all of her daughters now.)
Due to taking our next step in Senior Herd Sires we have brought in a suitable replacement for Spock. Due to this, we are now offering Spock for sale at private treaty as we are keeping several of his daughters in our herd to continue the Ozark Mountain Queen dam lineage. His daughters are valuable to us for taking our herd to our next step. So far we are seeing that his daughters have color, body and horns that do twist and roll over with time making for lovely curves which make such beautiful longhorns.

Jet Black Phantom (REFERENCE ONLY)
[Overwhelmer X Jet Black Wynonna]
A.I. CERTIFIED FROZEN SEMEN AVAILABLE
( We now own Phantom's Dam along with his own half brother (upcoming Jr. Herd Sire in '09) who was sired by "Roundup" himself. This bull calf who is by "Roundup x Jet Black Wynonna" is scheduled as Phantom's quality replacement his name is "RAF Rebel With A Cause" who you will hear more about.)

Calved: 3.21.98 ITLA Reg. #232269 TLBAA Reg. #BA62612
ITLA A.I. Certified Sire #2001 TLBAA A.I. Certified Sire #625
Weight: 1840# Hip Ht: 58" Total Horn: 64" TTT Horn: 54-1/2" Horn Base: 13-1/4"
"Phantom" was the only "known" solid black son of Overwhelmer. He was half-brother to Zydeco, Emperor, Senator, and several other famous bulls. He was Ken Kirkham bred. Since we have owned him he has sired high-quality calves for us with excellent conformation, full-body, and with great horn and bone structure. Phantom's calves show a thickness of body at an early age which is what we needed for "our genetic base" to raise quality replacement heifers, but also calves that are suitable for the TxLonghornCoop Program.
Phantom was a well mannered stay at home bull that never failed to get his job done. Phantom had a very nice size to him without being an extreme bull. His offspring also inherit his calm laid back dispostion. (his last calf crop for RAF is in '09.)
The decision was made to replace Phantom with his own half brother "Rebel With A Cause" who is also a solid black color, is showing to have nice hip height, good manners, continues his dam's influcence in our herd, and is a son of "Roundup's" Last Natural Calf Crop .
