I don't know about others but I knew about 20/28 and they made a big fuzz out of him until late 2009, so he has not been breed for more than a couple of years. If this is actually the case, we would only have young bucks so far.



Prior to that date I have only seen a few bucks, mainly typical, and they all have huge frames.

Allthough we've never used 20/28, we do have some offspring out of Sundowner and have been very pleased so far. Here's a bottle-raised Sundowner yearling

20/28 is a beautiful buck, however I haven't heard of ANY exceptional sons out of him. I would put my money on Sundowner for sure.

Tom, I would go with Sundowner he is starting to have some great sons pop up! Edwin Ropp has a super nice son called Sunriser out of him that Edwin says is the largest around................But Kurt's 2 yr old looks like he's gonna be a smoker!!!!!!!

X2! That's a really nice frame!



Buzz, those are some great 2 yr olds. Glad to see others are seeing good results from Sundowner. We also have a nice framey sundowner 2 yr old with double drops. I'll try to get a good pic of him posted

Here's the best pic I could manage of the Sundowner 2 yr old. Considering the slower-growing Texas influence on the dam side he's definately showing some potential
