We
acquired this great-looking young bull at PLR as a calf at side
of his beautiful blue roan dam, Steph 102 who was
owned by John Shaw and Carol Bridges of Lago Vista, Texas. Steph
had been AI'd to Super Bowl and produced a whopping-good
bull calf; however, John needed to find a good home for both. We
knew he was pretty special at 3 mos. old and he just kept on going
and growing.
Steph is one of our most outstanding foundation cows.
PLR Super Gridiron has since been purchased
as the herd sire for the new Brett Ranch in Brownwood
and he started work there in late April 2009 as a two-year
old. Those beautiful horns just keep coming. One look at the horn
shape just tells you he has Super Bowl bloodlines. And he's loaded
with color that just won't stop. His pedigree carries strong depth
from many well-known sires in the industry an dis nicely balanced
for horn, color, and body size. We paired him in early 2008 with
a few of our females before he left Pearl and expect some fine babies
from him in late 2009 and 2010.
Congratulations to Brian Brett for his selection of this outstanding
young Texas Longhorn bull for his ranch and we look forward to seeing
many colorful little "gridirons" in the future.
