Full sister to Snappy

Snappy, currently may be the most exciting young Shorthorn sire in America. His birthweight of 72 lbs. will allow you to use him on heifers. He is a maternal brother to Church's Shorthorn herd sire, "Golden Boy". His full sister was the Res. Champion heifer at both the Oklahoma Spring Fair and the American Royal Junior Shorthorn show(pictured below). He is great haired, extra thick, and a snappy style. He is also very fertile, producing semen before a year of age. For steers or heifers, choose Snappy.  Sire KaBa Cowboy Dam: Keystone's Golden Girl Cost $15 per unit SEK Genetic Horizons

M & S Golden Image

Golden Image was the bull of the eighties to produce those great show steers. During his reign, he sired several National Junior Show Champions. His daughters have been great cows producing State Fair champion steers and heifers in Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Iowa, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Some of his best characteristics were Roan Color, Long Sleek fronts, Great Hair, Fancy Style, and his light birthweight made him everyone's choice for heifers. Many people are using him now for heifers and to clean up those dirty fronts. Use him with confidence. Sire: Spruce Hill Image Dam: M & S Peppermint Semen $15

Sorry, but there has never been a good picture taken of Keystone. Although, there has been many pictures taken of steers that have won major championships. If you want to get a high percentage of great calves, then Keystone is the one your herd needs. Average birth weights around 88 lbs., hair is great, color is great, performance is great, and they are very marketable. Most people keep heifers for replacements. Keystone is white roan with outstanding structure and bone.  Sire: Len Ru Leader  Dam:KaBa Golden Vict.  BW +2.3  WW. +2.0  YW. 6.5 MILK +3.0

Both of these Keystone steers were very popular during 1995. Another Keystone Steer was Grand overall at the Cow palace and there was a class winner at the 1999 Houston Stock Show.
