The main breeders I am using this year are Triple Bypass up at Jarrod Washburn's place and my own buck named Ruben.
Triple Bypass was huge in 2013 at age 2 and again this year in 2014, and he has elements to his pedigree that I wanted. His early maturing, tons of bone pushing power is what I wanted as well. He is crossing with 4 does I took there to be bred and one doe I purchased from Jarrod specifically to be bred to him.
Ruben is only 2 years old and has a look I really like. He pedigree is stellar in my opinion as well. He isn't the highest scoring 2 year old around, but I am good with that. He is estimated at 225" at 2. He will be with only 3 adult does and with 3 doe fawns this year. Ruben's mother is an Updraft daughter and his sire is Shadowman. Shadowman is sired by Shadow and his mother is a Maxbo on Y-0289 who is the grandma to Updraft. Yes I double bred Y-0289 into the pedigree of Ruben.
I have been asked about semen from Ruben and there is none collected and I will not be collecting him.
Shadowman is still on my farm as well. He damaged his antlers this year at age 4 so I am holding him back another year. I am open to selling him, if anyone is interested you can email me.

Roger,
Hate to kind of hyjack the thread, but how did Shadowman turn out at 3? He was was a heck of a 2 year old.
