3 Straws of LEVI offered
Levi would be considered a “late-bloomer” as he cut 14.54 lbs velvet @ 2 yrs, and 26.22
lbs @ 3 yrs. He made a good jump to 38.46 lbs @ 4 yrs and we thought he might be a breeding bull. Then we really took note of him when @ 5 yrs he cut 48.8 lbs – a North American
This Semen is Exportable
record! But you can’t believe the excitement on our farm when the following year @ 6 yrs
we scored him at 542” (green) in hard antler!! I never thought that a 500” bull would come
from our farm - the 500” bull was an elusive dream that only happened on other farms. Now
we knew that we had a champion bull, but the question that still had to be answered was
whether Levi would pass his genetics onto his sons?
Levi’s genetics are passing onto his sons in a powerful way – a 3 year old son Avenger (est. 465”), a 3 year old son Tiguan (429”
green), a 4 year old son (Lincoln) @ 470” (green), a 3 year old son (Escalade) @ 409” (green), and a 2 year old son (Strauss) @
341” (green) with a 48” spread. It is unquestionable that Levi is changing the hunt bull genetics.
In 2013 Levi was SCI Master scored @ 560” with a 60” spread placing him as the highest scoring bull in Canada and second in
the USA! Unfortunately, in 2014 he skipped a second tyne but was still SCI Master scored @ 552”.
