I don’t normally acquire the semen rights on a bull but when Craig Bieber went for my offer, the cheque was in the mail (and that is definitely not one of the three biggest lies in the world when I say it!)! I haven’t been this hyped on a bull in a long, long time and for several reasons - when I first saw this bull, I thought he was good! He’s an off age bull and I saw him at 23 months of age at Leola, South Dakota. He got better and better in my mind when the tour proceeded on and I viewed both his tremendous brother called Makin’ Hay and his gorgeous dam, Adelle 8958.

Adelle 8958 is a big part of Biebers’ E.T. donor program and, in fact, I tried to get embryos from her into the mighty Red Round-up Sale. The length of body Rough Rider possesses is astounding and he maybe has as much natural muscle expression as any New Trend line bull that I have seen. His sire is the $41,000 New Trend 22D son from Stevensons’ in Montana.

Roughrider also scanned an actual 15.5” ribeye! I’ll bet this bull will be very popular... especially in Saskatchewan!
