We were very pleased with most the stock he has left here. Daughters bred well.

I think Rito 2100 GDAR is the most complete bull from the US that we have used.
His daughters were powerful yet feminine with tremendous maternal ability.
Teat size not perfect.

An easy calving bull who sired calves with less scale.
Progeny small framed and not clean bodied enough for our purposes at the time.
