Brad White raised this cow, we bought her as a young heifer. I love the Friction daughters and she’s the right kind of those. Soft sided and not straight, we sold her monopoly calf as tag 19 this fall sale. Bred to the Heat Wave son Daddy’s Boy. I really think he’s an “under the radar sire”. When they are good there’s no ceiling on price. But if they’re not good, no one cares how the main semen seller brags on how good they are.
