AR Fireman is the primary Braford herdsire for the Atwood Ranch. Fireman's paternal grandsire is the famous Lone Star Hereford, Star Mark 300C. Star Mark 300C represents the cornerstone of Lone Star's breeding program. 300C sired many top herdsires, and was one of the best bulls produced at Lone Star. Fireman's maternal grandsire was MN Mr. Red Mayro. Red Mayro 257/2 has the distinction of ranking fourth in the elite Brahman Register of Renown.

AR Fireman 1086 is a powerful bull with tremendous length of body and exceptional muscle development. It is rare to find a Braford bull that is so thick and heavy in the hind quarter, and still be extremely clean on underline. Fireman exhibits early maturity, fertility, and growth, but at the same time, he is balanced, athletic, and smooth.

This polled herdsire is the result of thoughtful planning. His sire, 1086, carries extreme length and muscle definition. His dam, 3381, exhibits extreme depth, heavy bone and yet displays femininity for true eye appeal. We were keeping this bull as our "Ace In The Hole", but our excitement with his appearance and performance has put him at the top of new performers. He is pictured here at 15 months of age.

AR Mr. Cat 514 "Tom Cat", is a polled, second generation herdsire that is putting it all together. As a calf in 1996, Tom Cat was the Reserve Champion bull calf at the Nation Braford Show. The same year, he also won honors at the Los Angeles County, California Fair as Junior Champion Bull over all breeds. Tom Cat was also an All Breeds class winner at Turlock, California.

Tom Cat's sire, Mr. AR Catalyst "Poll-Cat", has truly made a name for himself in the Braford breed. Poll Cat's sons have been high sellers and champions since 1994. Tom Cat's dam, RCC MS Futurstep, was the 1990 Braford National Champion, and is the leader of the Atwood Ranch embryo program. She produces calves that are top performers, with high gains, and extra growth.

Tom Cat is an extremely long and deep bodied bull. He is very clean and stylish, without giving up any thickness. Tom Cat is very athletic, balanced, fertile, and has exciting eye appeal, making him one of the most impressive young bulls that the Braford breed has produced.

This young herdsire is a ¾ Brahman embryo calf. He is deep sided, heavy boned, and extremely fertile. He tested excellent at 15 months of age. 6204 has an impressive genetic background from both Brahman and Hereford.

6204's sire, Mr. V8 700/3, is one of the top Brahman bulls today. 700/3 is a past International Champion Bull, is in the Register of Renown, and is Sire Summary Trait Leader. 6204's maternal granddam is the famous Lone Star Hereford, LS 053 Dominette 97A. 97A has produced many top bulls including Star Mark 300C. 6204's maternal grandsire, Mr. V8 15/3 is ranked eleventh in the register of Renown of the Brahman Breed.
