 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.

Red Magic 28 is 75% of "Hunt's Command Respect" which means he will be contributing 37.5%  of his Sire's Genetics to each calf he sires. 

 

Rockytop Diamond

[Smoky Diamond X Roundup Cow]

Calved:  5.3.07 

6.16.08 Measurement:  TTT Horn 33"   Base: 10"   Total Horn 33.5"

Photo:  7.5.08

 

Due to unexpectedly having to retire our bull "Rumble",  we needed to find a worthy replacement for Rumble's "Roundup" Genetics. 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 will be a suitable replacement.  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.

Many Thanks to Owen McGill and Johnny Wilson for this tremendous opportunity!

Sr. Herd Sire

 

Roundup's Blue Spock

(Roundup's Purple Sage X Ozark's Mist)

Calved:  12.3.03     ITLA Reg. #239262     TLBAA Reg. #B172996*

 [At 12 Mos. Old:  TTT Horn:  34 3/4"      Base:  11 1/2" and 39" Total Horn]

Following are 3.20.08 measurements

Weight:  1563#     Hip Ht:  56"     Total Horn:  66"     TTT Horn:  53"     Horn Base:  13"

Photo:  6.19.08

At 4 1/2 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 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 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.)

We had the honor of having "Ron and Jo Jones" of the famous JR Ranch, visit us a couple of summers ago... and Ron gave us a very high compliment on Spock..."Spock is the best balanced young bull I have seen in quite some time."  Ron also loved our set up with the different pastures and alley that we have in place for ease of working/moving our cattle. "He thought we'd had the most effecient set-up he had seen for our limited acreage."  He also kidded me (Sandy) about having one bull per cow....  (a wee bit of a tale of course... but love his/their sense of humor!  lol )

Jet Black Phantom (For Sale)

[Overwhelmer X Jet Black Wynonna]

(Why for sale?  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.) 

We would like to see Phantom get a quality home. We would also consider a lease with him to an approved home.)

 

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" is the only "known" solid black son of Overwhelmer.  He is half-brother to Zydeco, Emperor, Senator, and several other famous bulls.  He is 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 is needed to raise quality replacement heifers, but also calves that are suitable for the TxLonghornCoop Program. 

Phantom is a well mannered stay at home bull that has never failed to get his job done. He will be a quality herd sire for you as he has been for us. Phantom has a very nice size to him without being an extreme bull. His offspring also inherit his calm laid back dispostion.
