Quill, the underestimated and overlooked bull is a leading sire of over 60" daughters. Numerous bulls are known for a few over 60" daughters, but probably no one lists or acknowledges Quill as a very high percentage sire. Although he has less than 10% as many registered calves as Measles Super Ranger, he has over half as many over 60" daughters. It’s not how many quality animals sired, but rather what percent achieve the high quality status. Let’s look at the Quill record. Quill was bred and raised by DCCI and his second owner was Linhill Farms of South Carolina. Quill at the time of his passing had near 60" himself. Quill’s top weight was 2020 lbs. At one time, and maybe even today, he was the first and only over one ton black bull. Quill sires dark colors and often black, brindle and grullo. Quill’s sire, Lockhorn was one of the first over 60" sires. Lockhorn was bred and raised by DCCI. Later he was bred or owned by: TD Kelsey, Tom Brundage and El Coyote. Quills daughter Sara Sam owned by Dr. Darlene Aldridge measures over 69" today at age 8. Quill’s daughter "Hubbells Black Beauty" measures over 62" at age 5 and recently won the Great Lakes Horn Contest Class #7. She also was judges 1st Class 14 and Reserve Champion Jr. Cow of the Great Lakes Show. Quill’s daughter "Quills Fet" is over 60" and produced an over 60" Shadow son. Quill’s daughter, over 60" "Zuill is dam of Zanzibar, a young DCCI herd sire. Quill’s daughter "Quillette" is over 60", the dam of two fine herd sires. Quill is sire of "Quorum" a young sire of great color and horn. Quill was broke to ride and moved smoothly not only at a walk but he would circle and figure 8 at a lope. Great disposition. Quill semen is available at only $15 in Unlimited volume from DCCI. Quill crosses great on Senator, Zhivago, and numerous lesser known bloodlines. Quill sires great conformation, great milking daughters, dark rich colors and more horn than all but a few bulls, Why not give him a try. Why breed to bulls that are smaller, sire less horn, sire less desired color, less size and don’t forget disposition? Good questions! You don’t have to pay $75 for semen on a great sire.     Quill - age 4 photo Quillette - 60" age 4 photo Zuill - Age 8 - Over 60" Hubbells Black Beauty - 62" - Age 5 - Horn and Halter Champion Sara Sam - Horns over 69" - pictured at age 6 Sara Sam is half sister to Sadie Sam out of Samsara.
