SOLD: Captain Butler

CAPTAIN BUTLER HAS BEEN SOLD.  THANK YOU.

The time has come to change herd sires, so now that I’ve secured his replacement, I’m putting BWS Captain Butler up for sale.  He just turned 8 years old, DOB 4-18-05.  He’s a Foundation Pure proven herd sire having multiple calves on the ground in the US, most of which I have pictures if requested.  He’s a Sea Wolf son and out of O’Hara, which links him to Catskill Thunder and a double dose of Rambo, all great producers in the breed.  Sea Wolf really gave Butler a lot of muscle that he’ll pass to his offspring, especially in the back end.  I attached 3 pictures of him by himself, as well as his full pedigree I mapped out, and a comparison picture of him with a new born bull calf and my 3 year old (at that time) cow.  The pictures don’t do him justice, he really is a large meaty bull, especially for a Watusi.  His horns measured 69″ tip to tip & 23″ base circumference at the hair line on 7/30/12, and that was the only time he was measured at RRH.  You can check my website for measurements on other cattle I own if you’d like to compare.  Butler will add both body and horn to your herd, and he’s very good at his job as a bull.  He’s located in East Texas and can be delivered anywhere for some fuel cost.  I’m asking $2,500 for him, he comes with registration papers, and I can supply any info on Butler or his offspring via email, phone, or mail.  Butler is a lot of bang for your buck, and I’m sure others will agree.  Feel free to contact me anytime, and also feel free to spread the word around, I’d sure appreciate it!

Liar’s Lake Kenya Jim

JIMMY2

Liar’s Lake Kenya Jim was born to the herd of Texas Safari owned by the late A. C. Parsons, Clifton, Texas.  He was purchased as a youngster by Liar’s Lake of Sparta, Missouri and served as their premier herdsire for many years.  Kenya Jim’s dam, Kathy (from Catskill Game Farm) was one of the highest selling females in the breed, ultimately selling for $40,000.00.  His sire, Heinz, was owned and utilized by the Catskill Game Farm, Catskill, New York one of the premier breeding operations of the breed.

Fonz

Fonz, a Grandson of the famous Man Dingo was a great producer in his own right.  He sired many colorful and correct calves which have been successful in the show ring as well as making their own contributions to the breed.  Fonz was  bred by Robert Baney of Sterling, Colorado and was purchased and used as a main herdsire by Liar’s Lake of Sparta, Missouri for years.

Rambo, WWAFP307

Rambo was born at the Rare Animal Survival Center in Ocala, Florida and proved the successful result of one of the original breeding programs in the United States. Rambo had it all, a body weight of 1600 pounds; horn circumference of 23 inches; 41 inch length to each individual horn and 54 inches from tip to tip (not measured along the curves). There is no question that this bull was one of the best representatives of this special breed.  He was used by the famous Catskill Game Farm in their purbred program for most of his life and can be found in the background of many of the top animals of the Watusi breed.  Rambo
