Rebel Red

Tabasco x Hot Bail

DOB:  01/01/1999

Horns:  71 1/2" ttt

82" total

Semen Available

Half Owner: Dan and Kathy Coppoletta - New Ulm, Texas

Rebel Red is one of the hottest bulls to hit the longhorn industry in several years. His progeny are making a significant impact with their horn development, conformation, and disposition. Rebel Red was the 1999 Longest Horned Bull TLBAA Horn Showcase for two consecutive years. His sire, Tabasco, is 15/16 Butler and his Dam is a blend of Texas Ranger, WR, and Butler.

From the moment he was born, Charlene Semkin knew that he was going to be an impressive bull. She just didn't know that he would grow so much horn. "From the day he was born, he would come up to me, suck on my fingers, and beg to be scratched and loved. I knew right away that I didn't want to part with him,"says Charlene. To this day, he is the center of attention as ranch visitors walk through her pastures. He still desires to be scratched and loved.

His calves show the most early horn growth of any bull we have ever used.They are all colors including black and black & whites. No trip to Semkin Longhorns is complete without seeing this phenomenal bull. Rebel Red is co-owned with Doreen Hickman of Hickman Longhorns.

Semen is available for export to Australia and is available in Queensland.

Shockwave

Sonic Boom x Super Brownie

DOB:  06/01/1994

Horns:  70" ttt

SHOCKWAVE is a bull we raised, used for many years, sold and now have leased him back by popular demand.  His genetics are important to our breeding program. Shockwave adds color, body, and a unique, cork screw twist type horns to his calves. He measures close to 70” ttt even with several inches off both tips.  His sire, Sonic Boom, was a black & white  Jet Jockey son and his dam, Super Brownie, was a Measles Super Ranger daughter out of an all Butler female. She possessed a triple cork screw horn and has passed this on thru her son.  Shockwave’s disposition is such that you can go out in the pasture and sit on him as he lays among his “harem” peacefully enjoying life.  He passes this gentle nature on to his calves also.  We are expecting 2007 calves from  Shockwave  and will be using him again this year.  You can pick his calves out by their fancy speckled and spotted colors and wonderful straight top lines.

Super Up

Super Up, a son of Superman is our youngest herd sire that we used last year and we are expecting his first calves in 2007. His dam Cowgirl Up is a gruella Cowboy Man daughter with almost 70” of horn and was one of our embryo donor cows due to the quality of her calves and her much desired gruella color, which she has passed on to her son Super Up. This bull has almost 60” ttt and almost 80”of total horn before his third birthday. He is very correct, with so much length and height that we feel he will be another 2,000 lb. at maturity herd sire and will surpass his sire in horn also. If he also passes on the gruella color, this will just be another plus for us. Watch for his calves in 2010.

BH Bubba

Brazoz Chex x Katherine 021

DOB: 

Horns:  57+" ttt

Bubba is as gentle as his name might indicate.  His loud, “coat of many colors” is an eye catcher and his beautiful, lateral horns, (measuring over 57” at 26 months) makes us very excited for next year’s calf crop.  We have given him a variety of typed & colors of “girls” so we can get a good idea of what Bubba will do as a herd sire.  His blended pedigree of Butler, WR, and Phillips breeding reads like “who’s who” in this industry.

We are pleased to have been able to lease this bull from Kathy Kittler for this year's breeding season. He measured 70 1/8" on May 30, 2010. He won his Division at the 2009 Horn Showcase in both tip to tip and composite classes. His long, tall frame is our kind of bull. Measured at the shoulder @ 4, he was 57", just one inch short of Jamakizm. We are cheering him on for some of his brindle on his 2011 calves. Thanks, Kathy, for this opportunity to use him.
