When I purchased A17 he was in with some very impressive bulls that were the result of an extensive ET program at DAJORY. His thickness and length were the first things I noticed. He just looked like the bulls we are trying to breed: all cattle by Willalooka Uplift U5 look like profit makers. Seeing this, coupled with his standout figures, for me the selection was easy.
