Texas Longhorn Mating Strategies

Annex

Annex - He is a DCCI dream blend with the popular Drag Iron -- Jester blend. This connects the great Winchester and Jamakizm. His calves are mostly very speckulated from nose to tail, tiny heads and huge hips. His correctness will demand polite gentlemen to remove their covering and savor a moment of silence. Annex has agreed to finish the breeding season for his famous sire. What large hooves to fill???

Bail Jumper

Bail Jumper - He was the early breed leader for correct conformation, consistent attractive spotted colors and unbeatable show conformation. He dominated the shows at the highest levels. He was World Champion Get of Sire and sired the World Champion All Age sire Risen Star. Bail Jumper is by Cowcatcher and out of Rangers Measles. For years his semen was closely held by the owners until purchased by DCCI. Now Bail Jumper semen is available. Use him to raise tall long correct type cows with trim necks, perfect udders and conformation still able to win at the highest show levels. His close up Rangers Measles and Cowcatcher make him a good choice for rate of beef gain.

Bold Ruler

Bold Ruler - He is an all Butler bull, sired by New Sam out of Miss Dayton. Most people believe that Bold Ruler was one of the top ten sires of "long horns" in the Texas Longhorn breed. Although Bold Ruler himself had horn measurement of just under 50" tip to tip. Some of his daughters sported 60" tip to tip. Bold Ruler is a medium sized Longhorn bull with a slightly nervous disposition that is often transmitted to his offspring. He was an early foundation Butler bull, but modern data has left him behind.

Bouncer

Bouncer - Bouncer is sired by Copy Cat and is a blend of Butler, with Wichita Refuge, Texas Ranger & a slight touch of Yates breeding. Bouncer is famous for his ability to sire unbelievably huge horned steers with huge base circumference. He is the leading sire of huge circumference horn in the history of the Longhorn breed. He often sires calves with brindle & lacy faced coloration. Bouncer was bred and raised by Robert Shultz, purchased by Dickinson Cattle Co and then sold to the famous wrestler, Andre The Giant. His steer sons are famous in Colorado and still winning Championships under the toughest competition. El Sid and Hop along-Chastity are the most famous, although a number of Bouncer progeny had huge horn base. El Sid has 26.5" horn base circumference. This was the special huge horn base that only Bouncer sired during the eighties and nineties. The World Champion bull Clear Win is a line bred Bouncer.

Buckshot

Buckshot - He is sired by World Champion Get of Sire, Bail Jumper & his dam is Ranger Yet by Texas Ranger. Buckshot is a speckled, gold & bronze coloration with very complete quality type. He has sired some beautiful females with very straight backs & very correct structure. He is much like the famous Measles Super Ranger, yet his horns are slightly longer with much more body size. A Buckshot daughter produced Boomerang who was the great horned bull of the TLBAA 2000 show circuit.

Classic

Classic - He is sired by Bevo, out of the famous corkscrew horned cow Beauty. Beauty was the first cow recognized in the Texas Longhorn breed with over 60" tip to tip. Classic was once syndicated for $1,000,000 & many feel that he is the leading sire of the longest tip to tip horned cattle in the breed. He holds a unique designation in that he has sired numerous highly respected sons & also daughters. (This is an unusual trait, but one possessed by every truly great sire.) A cow bred to Classic will often produce a white calf unless mated to a solid dun, red or black female. Classic will sired very long horn & very feminine females. His 60" was a record in his day but not close to modern sires of over 80".

From the first year's AI the great bull Drag Iron was born then Juma and Jamster. Jamakizm by Shadowizm, added the dark minimal-white pattern with consistent brindle. His body is one of the tallest and longest of modern TL sires. His greatness comes from the strength to sire great males and females which few bulls can successfully sire both. Horn 83" T2T.

King

King - He is a son of Royal Mounty, out of a daughter of Texas Ranger named Miss Texas Ranger 262. He sports 64" horn. King sold at public auction at age 14 for $8,700 as a natural service sire.

He has the miraculous ability to sire tremendous sons & tremendous daughters. He sires size, substance, horn, & body. Due to his red color he has often been used on cows with a lot of white. For best results, he should be used on cows with tight skin. He was one of the first Longhorns to reach mid 60" horns and is still competitive years after his death. Semen is economical. His daughters give abundant milk and heavy weaning weights. His most famous son is Zhivago.

Lethal Weapon

Lethal Weapon - He is sired by Tri-W Lady's Man, out of a daughter of Broken Arrow by Texas Ranger. Lethal Weapon is believed to be one of the longest & tallest bulls in the breed.

Lots of Flare

Lots of Flare - Lots Of Flair is a 3/4 brother to Drag Iron and to date, right in the same foot steps as his World Champion relative.

Lots Of Flair would appreciate a kind word of prayer as he faces the greatest test of his short life -- can he sire great calves ?

Mile Marker

Mile Marker - He is a maroon lacey faced bull with 71.5" horn T2T. He is by The Shadow and out of a daughter of Unlimited. He is a 3/4 brother to Shadow Spear the widest horned 5 year old steer in history. He is a half brother to Shadow Jubilee the first cow to pass 80" T2T at age 7. Mile Marker is part of the younger generation that is the icing on the cake from the best of the foundation sires. This new generation of plus 70 sires are replacing the old sires before them. He has it all with nearly a ton weight, perfect disposition and a high percentage of growthy calves with lacey faces and wine colors. Use on low horned cows with good top lines, that aren't all white or all solid colors. The results are skedaddling horn, and genetic dreams coming true.

Monarch

Monarch - He was an old foundation Butler bull. He is respected for his many daughters who have sold well and developed over 50 and 60" horn. His top sons are Laramie and Farlap. He is one of the smallest of the Butler bulls and should be used on cows with good size.

Over Kill

Over Kill - He is a son of Over Head and out of International All Age Champion ITLA Female, Field of Pearls by Fielder. His credentials are similar to his sire in many ways. He is a strong black sire. His calves are very long legged and tall. His calves have perfectly straight backs and trim fronts. Over Kill measures 80" T2T.

Bulls like Over Kill totally replace hundreds of foundation bulls for total quality and genetic values. He will have numerous calves in Australia and Europe.

Overwhelmer

Overwhelmer - He is sired by Cowcatcher, out of the famous Doherty 698. Some feel Overwhelmer, a many times World's Champion Sire & World's champion Get of Sire himself, is the superior sire in the history of the breed. He sires size demanded by the commercial and show industry. He combines both opposite segments of the industry in one bull and also consistently sires dark red and spotted animals. His most famous son is Senator. Numerous other sons of high regard are scattered around the nation. Semen is limited because very little semen was in inventory at the time of his death.

Play Boy

Play Boy - He is the son of Bold Ruler, out of Keechi Valley 78. He is one of the more well known breeding sons of Bold Ruler. He possesses a speckled color & a high type horn shape, unlike many of his family. His dam was a high horned cow. He is known for siring beautiful curvaceously horned females of medium size. Some of his offspring had very pretty color. Some who use Play Boy, feel he is a sire of beautifully horned cows. He is the sire of Tango and grand sire of Roundup.

He does many of the same things for his progeny that Don Quixote did, except he sires more height, length & horn. He has the small ear, trim underline & the big bold Mexican appearance. Quill sires about 40% brindle & speckled calves & over 60% black or black speckled calves. Many are using Quill as an antidote for lighter colored smaller genetics. His most famous daughter is over 70" Sarasam, the widest horned black base cow in history. He was trained to ride and had a smooth fluid lope, turned and stopped well.

Use him to increase beef quality and retain color, horn, and conformation. He has numerous working oxen sons in Costa Rica.

Shadowizm

Shadowizm - He is a gold and black stripped brindle. His horn measurement of over 73" was one for the early record books. Possibly few, or no other bulls have ever matched this female siring ability.

By every calculation, he has done more for the Longhorn breed to bring them into the limelight than any other sire in history. Not only does he sire great sons & daughters, his sons & daughters often reproduce better than themselves. The lineage goes on getting better & better. Every All Age World Champion bull & All Age International Champion bull in history have traced back to Texas Ranger in their pedigree. He is the only bull in history to have that merit. Young progeny are few & far between due to the fact there is only a small amount of semen left on the famous old Texas Ranger JP.

Texas Star

Texas Star - He was sired by Texas Ranger, out of Belle Star 31. This great old flamboyant red & white bull lived to be 20 years old & successfully bred up until the last day of his life.

Texas Toro

Texas Toro - He is sired by Texas Ranger, out of WR 1071. His most famous son is Cowcatcher, who opened up a whole can of worms in the Longhorn quality department.

Weight 1825 lbs. He is the younger generation with beautifully blended genetics. He is used on the higher horned DCCI cows, Drag Iron daughters and solid red and black cows.

Top Caliber

Top Caliber - Top Caliber is almost totally unrelated to the DCCI herd. His ancestral connection to DCCI genetics goes way back to Emperor, double bred Tabasco and double Dixie Hunter. His 85 1/8 T2T horn must be respected having won more horn measuring contests than any other sire in history. To avoid using Top Caliber semen if one wants very large horns is crazy. At DCCI TC is being mated to large beef type dark-colored females. Hopefully a great young bull will evolve from TC to add an unrelated strain. Not only is TC appreciated for his record horn, he has owners committed to professional marketing -- very important.

Top Hand

Top Hand - He is the blend of 2 very popular sires Top Caliber and Jamakizm. He is proving himself to sire great dark colors, flat lateral horn and served as an new blend at DCCI for 3 years.
