Ultrasound data on 2009 McMurry bulls is now available. We culled deeply before selecting this group for development. We plan to use several of the bulls, but we are offering some of the top bulls for sale. Scroll down for photos of some of the bulls.

  • (903 & 915) - Two EF K334 Crown Beef N014 bulls are moderate framed 1,100+ lb. YW bulls with outstanding carcass evaluations. (near 16 inch REA)

  • (9103 & 9104) - Two Watchfire 117F bulls are short marked, dark bulls. The heavier bull is 1,300 lbs. Both have excellent ultrasound evaluations.
