CP Boston Bodacious 12H XGrissom is at the top of the breed for many of the economic traits. He has one of the most appealing sets of car-cass scanning results collected, with over 10+years and hun-dreds of yearlings scanned at Crooked Post Shorthorns.
Clean fronted, smooth shoul-dered and wide based with massive body capacity. Rug-ged foot and leg design, and excellent scrotal and sheath structures. He keeps the flesh on. Excellent calving ease and newborn vigor, and as the fig-ures show, they really get up and perform. Grissom’s docil-ity is very pronounced, he and his offspring are a real pleasure to work with. REAL VALUE.
The value Grissom carries is compounded by the solid predictability built into his background, allowing him to generously offer up these genetics more readily through his matings. It is essential to produce some great animals each year, but in order to be more profitable we need to work on the averages of the groups thus tightening up the consistency between the top and the bottom. Crooked Post Grissom 24T helps accomplish this. REAL PERFORMANCE
Grissom will be participating in the Durham Research & Development Project in Australia.
