SELLING: 5 Units of Semen on LMC ATZ Dr. Feel Good - Polled Purebred Simbrah Bull - ASA# 2445746
This special lot features the 2009 Reserve National Champion Bull, LMC ATZ Dr. Feel Good who was born on January 8, 2008. Feel Good is sired by the legendary LMC EF JW Black bull and out of the LMC Jacobs Muneca donor.
We do an extensive amount of work with the juniors and Dr. Feel Good is actually a product of that program. We sold Jacob Atzenhoffer a LMC-RFI-Smith Red Bullet daughter as his first LMC show heifer, he took advantage of our program by breeding her for free to our JW Black bull and produced the impressive Dr. Feel Good bull. We started getting phone calls about this awesome bull calf from friends at the Houston Jr. Show in 2008 and when the Atzenhoffer Family brought him down for the MAS weekend later that month, we made a deal with the Atzenhoffer Family to not only buy half of the bull calf but half of his dam back from them as well. It has been a successful partnership run with the Steve Atzenhoffer Family of Orange Grove, Texas ever since. Every year we sell some of our very best females to our juniors and many of them are in the best position to produce the next great one and the Atzenhoffer's did just that.
What a pedigree on the bottom side of Dr. Feel Good, you have the timeless LM She Moves cow and the ever productive LM Rob's Muneca 3E/89 as well as the Rob, Money and Bravo bulls who can be found in the foundation of several of our most productive and profitable cows of all time. Add all this up and combine them with the 2005 International Champion Bull LMC-RFI-Smith Red Bullet who is out of one of the rare back to back International Champions HR Power House I and you have a solid and predictable line of genetics to lean on. You can go into several more individuals in Jacobs Muneca's pedigree but those are some of the heavy weights that have done a lot for us and the breed in terms of producing the type of cattle that are not only in line with the industry needs but do their share of moving the needle forward.
This cow is also the dam to the LMC ATZ Miley donor who is a full sister to Feel Good and the only female to win back to back titles at a $15,000 MAS Showdown, $15,000 Synergy Showcase, $20,000 LMC $ellabration or Elite Show by winning back to back titles at Synergy for Jacob's step sister, Jane Hunt. Miley has gone on to produce well herself, recently producing the Reserve Champion Female at the 2014 State Fair of Texas Jr. Simbrah Show and a herd bull for the Boening Bros. and a herd bull prospect for KF Livestock, along with an exciting Rajin Cajun son we recently put on test. Jacobs Muneca is also the dam to the LMC ATZ Cuervo bull, who is at work in KQ Cattle Company's herd here in South Texas. She was a good cow who out produced herself as a good cow should.
Dr. Feel Good was named Reserve National Champion in Ft. Worth out of a tough set of bulls that included the likes of LMC Soldier and LMC HS Rocco as a calf and turned heads that year with his length, bone and stoutness. This wide based bull, with a great look sold 6 breeding shares at just a year of age for $1,250 in the MAS Simbrah Sale IV and has gone on to be a consistent producer of cattle that do well in and out of the ring. He is not only working for us, but for several other breeders as well. His cattle are moderate, docile and have loads of eye appeal just like he does. This bull is a prime example of what the JW Black bull did for not only our operation but the breed, as he put together an unprecedented package in a black baldy color pattern that appealed to a lot of cow men, not only Simbrah breeders but breeders from other breeds as well. He was a testament to what the show ring can do for a breed as he was a great ambassador for the Simbrah breed while on the road. When you pull up to a breeder's stalls the first thing you usually see is their stock's rear ends and that is where Dr. Feel Good had a lot of folks from hello, he can put a rear on one. For all that muscle, look at that clean, extended signature JW Black front end on that bull.
To wrap things up on Feel Good, simply put he has been a great one for us raising the bar for the breed with each of his consistent and exciting calf crops. He is certainly one to consider when thinking about producing some major league Simbrah cattle.
