Paintearth Rama 53U is a unique 100% pure, polled Beef Shorthorn sire. He offers a totally new bloodline for Irish Shorthorn breeders. He is one of the most impressive bulls you are ever likely to see with tremendous muscle, great feet and legs, super balance and tremendous eye appeal. He has been a standout since birth. His owners, Creekside Shorthorns, purchased him as a calf at his mothers side to be their next herd sire, and what a great decision that has proven to be. Since his arrival he has been Supreme Champion at several top shows including the prestigious Farmfair International. His progeny are now following in his footsteps. His daughter Creekside Admiration 3X was “Legends of the Fall” Supreme Champion. At the 2012 Showcase Bull Sale many of the high selling lots were Paintearth Rama 53U sons. This is your opportunity to use the bull that cattlemen are talking about.
