From J-MAR Genetics, VA

JMAR LEAD TIME is one of the most balanced trait bulls we’ve ever produced and is uniquely one of the most balanced trait bulls in the Charolais breed. He bends the antagonistic traits of Muscle and Marbling without sacrificing those important convenience traits like scrotal, feet, disposition and fleshing ability. His dam is a tremendous daughter of the legendary Select Sires bull, 7CH91 FREE LUNCH.
