MH TITAN 752

- MH Titan 752 was bred to create efficient, long-lived, intelligent females. He combines the two great cow makers OCC Great Plains 943G and OCC Homer 650H. His dam MH Melisa 357 is a pathfinder and one of Monte Howrey’s favorite cows, she stems from the same Melisa cow family that DDA Emblazon 27C comes from: DDA Melisa 545 is the grand-dam of 27C, and was purchased by Monte as a young cow. Here is what Monte Howrey said about MH Titan 752 as an 8-year-old: “Titan, the older he gets, the more I appreciate him. Just no holes in him: feet are great, Athletic, incredible disposition, looks like he could breed cows for another 4 or 5yrs. Fertile and highly intelligent…he’s probably the most USEFUL bull I have ever bred.”
- This is a bull that we bought and brought up to our Edie Creek Angus herd in Canada.
- We decided we needed to buy MH Titan 752 after seeing an athletic 5-year-old son working in a low input commercial cow herd in Saskatchewan and daughters at Howrey Angus that were producing terrific calves while maintaining great fertility, leg structure and udder quality.
- MH Titan 752 was an extremely aggressive breeder: as an 8yr old bull at Edie Creek in 2015, he was a part of a multi sire group that bred 125 cows. Titan was constantly on the hunt and never took a day off.
- MH Titan 752 had a very quiet disposition and always enjoyed a good back scratch.
- Titan has the best set of feet under him that we have seen. We expect him to help us excel at longevity and functionality traits.
- In the Spring of 2015, just after his arrival at Edie Creek Angus, he collected 300 straws of semen in one day, and had a 94% semen test score.
- Titan bred 40+ cows as an 11-year old bull, but had smaller breeding groups at age 12 & 13.
- He retired at the age of 13, when it looked like he wasn’t converting calories efficiently enough to go through another Canadian winter.
