 and he is a Frame Score 2 bull, he packs a lot of thickness on his short frame, and maintains his weight on just
 pasture quite well.  Elvis has the best of dispositions and it always conveys to his calves.

Tyson is an outstanding bull of great confirmation and genetics.  Tyson has 5 Stars out of
the possible 6 Stars for TENDERNESS with Genestar.  His sire, King Cole, has done an
excellent job of putting his clean back line and balanced body confirmation on his many calves,
and I expect to see the same from Tyson.  His dam, B&B 31D, is also the dam of my first herd
bull, DFTX Watson (Doc), and her genetics  via Doc are anchor genetics in my herd.  Check back for photos of
Tyson's first Spring 2009 calves born here at the ranch...in the meantime, follow this link
for a youtube video of his first heifer calf, and this link for one of his first bull calf.

$20 a Straw.  Tyson's Feed Efficiency is  6 of 8 Stars.  

Feed Efficiency 4 of 8 stars, Blue Boy is a Grandson of Halliburton Colonel, a great carcass sire, and
CRae 215G, a premier British White cow with great fertility, milkiness, and longevity of calving life.
Blue Boy sired one calf here at the ranch before moving to his new pastures.  That calf is JWest's
Macho Bueno, pictured below, and quite an outstanding bull that is working as a herd sire today.

$20 a straw.  

King Cole is 6 of 8 stars for Feed Efficiency, and Homozygous for the T1 and T3
Tenderness genes (4 of 6 stars) with Genestar.  King Cole always puts on a nice top line in his calves,
and very well balanced confirmation. He has several sons working as herd sires today.

predominantly small birth weights, range of 30 to 75 lbs, and frame size of his calves are expected
