Bellaman is a Masterpiece of Volga son out of an Emulation/Wye cross cow. He has been our go-to heifer bull for the past few years, and has worked up to breeding cows. There is no surprises with this bull, he progeny are consistent with our herd goals and core genotyple. Bellaman reproduces the original Angus traits we never attempt to alter... the old time virtues of calving ease, vitality, longevity, and fertility that remain the baseline for our expectations.
