Bastion is a top end herd bull prospect that simply checks a lot of boxes. Heavily muscled, great length of body and a nice top, Bastion is backed by highly maternal genetics with Radium, two shots of Viper and our foundation Spruceburn Pauline cow who has left a very lengthy legacy here at APLX. The Battleborn genetics we have offered at auction have been very well received, averaging over $10,600, and we think the sons on offer at Red Deer 2024 showcase exactly why. With a moderate birthweight, and nicely pigmented, Bastion is the perfect bull to lead off our 2024 Red Deer Bull String. Bastion is worth a long, slow look, as he showcases tremendous versatility, a quiet temperament, and will take the horns off every single calf.
Bastion was selected by Jensen Simmentals / Steve Jensen of Osawatomie, Kansas.
