We searched for a couple of years before we found what we believe to be the complete performance bull. Anchor B Goldrush has tremendous growth that can compete with all other breeds for performance. The added bonus is, he is from a proven dam that milks. We look forward to seeing the brood matrons he produces in the future. The bulls in the sale are an elite group of power bulls. Their progeny will pound down the scales.
