Lethal Weapon - He is sired by Tri-W Lady's Man, out of a daughter of Broken Arrow by Texas Ranger. Lethal Weapon is believed to be one of the longest & tallest bulls in the breed. His horns are reportedly above 56" tip to tip & still growing. He should be used on cows where height & length are desirable. Lethal Weapon was All Age Grand Champion ITLA bull in 1991.

He has it all with nearly a ton weight, perfect disposition and a high percentage of growthy calves with lacey faces and wine colors. Use on low horned cows with good top lines, that aren't all white or all solid colors. The results are skedaddling horn, and genetic dreams coming true.
Monarch - He was an old foundation Butler bull. He is respected for his many daughters who have sold well and developed over 50 and 60" horn. His top sons are Laramie and Farlap. He is one of the smallest of the Butler bulls and should be used on cows with good size.

Monarch steers are perfect for roping as they grow rapid horn and retain a small body.
Not_Gunna - He is sired by Gunner, out of a daughter of World Champion, Jet Jockey. He is well appreciated for his over 58" horn spread at age four, plus a very smooth profile & very trim offspring.

He is a strong black sire. His calves are very long legged and tall. His calves have perfectly straight backs and trim fronts. Over Kill measures 74" T2T at age 4.

Westward Ho - He is a bold black specimen with show conformation. His black appaloosa colored progeny quickly grab the eye.

Zigfield - He is sired by Zhivago, out of a daughter of Phenomenon. Both his sire & dam's sire combine the over 60" horn potential that is so sought after. Zigfield has a beautiful brindle, striped pattern with upper 50" horn measurement. He is recommended to breed for a complete pretty profile. He is good to use on cows with white, due to his dark brown, brindle coloration. Zigfield sired the biggest horn measurement on any DCCI bull of 1995. He is a strong sire of rich smokey colored, huge horned herd sires. His best sons are Fielder, Wanted Man, & Fultz Field.
