Continuing in the committment to build upon our grass production based beef program with Lowline genetics, we purchased Sward Master as a calf from Black Bottom Lowlines in Victor, Montana.Sward's Fullblood genetics (see pedigree) are second to none, and his performance in the show ring has made us proud! We're excited about our future with Sward as our JR herd sire...with his calm, docile personality he's a pleasure to work with, and his overall quality, thickness, and correctness make him a complete genetic package. Sward has everything that we are looking for in a top performing Lowline bull! Sward is a super addition to our 'Bull Barn'...he's also quite a charming gentleman with the ladies. This handsome guy loves his work and takes his job VERY seriously! ************************
