J.West's Sir Sawyer, 3rd Generation Purebred, 7 Months Old, DOB 5/4/09, BW 77 lbs.  This handsome young bull calf is still at his mother's side (weaned 12/6/09 at 439 lbs, daily gain 2.03, dam's weight 830 lbs).   His pedigree reflects a predominance of full English genetics combined with some of the best of USA bloodlines. 
            He has very nice muscling and confirmation, particularly deep and smooth top and bottom, and of course a very gentle disposition.  He's pictured above right in November, and above left at weaning on 12/6/09, really progressed in the final month or so, and his markings are nice, check out that black tail switch!  Hip height 43 inches at weaning.  Check back for a video of this nice young bull. 

Note:  A 3rd Gen Purebred gives you 4th Gen replacement calves which will produce American Fullbloods.
