The Longhorn industry got a HUGE surprise with Clear Win.

He is a Longhorn bull that has exceeded the expectations of many people.  Exceeding expectations has become “business as usual” for Darol Dickinson, of Dickinson Cattle Co. There is a long list of Dickinson longhorns that have destroyed previous records and set new standards of excellence for the breed.  Clear Win has proven to be one of the best.

One of the true tests of a great sire is producing offspring that “outperforms” the Sire and Dam.

Sometimes it’s hard to determine if a calf is going to be exceptional.  It can take some time to let them mature.  Speculating and projecting is a favorite pastime of Longhorn enthusiasts.

Would you have guessed that Clear Win would be such a phenomenal bull as an adult?  Look at this picture of him as a calf.  He certainly had correct conformation, but would you (could you) have guessed him to mature to over 86″ tip to tip horn length?  There were clues in his pedigree, but even with that in his favor, it was hard to tell just how good he would become.

We just purchased a son of Clear Win from Darol Dickinson.  It would be embarrassing to admit how much time I have spent speculating and projecting.  I will say that we have great expectations.  This is a picture of our new Jr. Herd Sire, Clear Winner as a young calf.

With the incredible Top Caliber added to his pedigree on his Dam’s side, we think he has the potential to out-perform his sire.  That would be a significant accomplishment, but that’s the way Darol breeds his Longhorns.

What do you think?
