Sometimes, when a calf is born, you just know that they are going to turn into something special.  That is the case with ‘Wrangler’, our feature bull for Red Deer in 2018.   His dam, Applecross Poppy, is probably our most phenotypically impressive cow and, not surprisingly, is also the maternal grand-dam responsible for ‘Pippa’, our high-seller at Fleckvieh Equation this past December.  His sire, WowEffect, has certainly left his mark on our herd – being one of those rare bulls that produces consistent sons and highly marketable daughters.  Wrangler comes loaded with an awesome hair coat and pigmentation that covers his well-balanced frame.  Jeanne is the math teacher, but even I know that length x width x depth = volume; a trait Wrangler showcases in spades.   A complete package, look for Wrangler to breed true and carry on the great legacy of the strong cow families behind him.
