TWG/ST’s Sir Ridgedal Rustler-Red-ET has passed away

April 28, 2011

Trans-World Genetics announces that recently after the bull entered his 13th year of life, Sir Ridgedal Rustler-Red-ET has died.

Rustler-Red the first ever EX-97 point bull of the Red & White breed ends his chapter as a history making Red & White bull.

Rustler-Red is well-known around the world for transmitting high components and outstanding Type in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, and Germany. He is the sire of many champions, including the Euro Champion at the Cremona Italy 2010 Show, Pepita!

Rustler-Red’s ability to sire show winners was not his major contribution to the breed; more so, it was his ability to sire strength, exceptional mammary systems and extremely sound fundamental Type cows.

Rustler-Red’s daughters have flawless high-style mammary systems and excellent feet & legs. His pedigree confirms his credentials; he is from the famous Roxy Family, which produced the “Queen of the Breed” C Glenridge Citation Roxy EX-97. The pedigree completes a total of 12 generations of Excellent cows on the maternal and paternal sides of his pedigree. His daughters will carry on as foundation cows and will ensure his imprint on the breed for years to come.

Rustler-Red was bred by Ridgedale Farm, Wayne Conard & Family and fortunately leaves behind an inventory of both conventional and sexed semen.
