Today we say good-bye to an old friend. A bull we purchased back in 2020 during the Covid era—which now seems like a lifetime ago. Purchased sight unseen, this turned out to be one of the best breeding decisions the ranch has ever made. GCC Equalizer (NMR Maternal Made x GCC Miss Whiskey 5066), or Grizzly, as he was known here on the ranch, turned out to be everything we had hoped for. While his full brother, GCC Masterpiece was out winning Cattlemen’s Congress and the American Royal, Grizzly was living the life here on the ranch tending to his cowherd. He was quiet, didn’t tear up too many fences (he usually had help), and you had to halter and lead him to get him down a chute. Every year since, 90% of our replacement heifers have been sired by him. The daughters have been incredible; sound, stout, good uddered, all while having that fancy look. Needless to say, his legacy and his impact on our cowherd will continue to live on for years to come.
Goodbye, old friend.
