Drag Iron

On April 2007, a pal-colored, speckled bull weighing 64 pounds was born to Shining Victory, a coming-age 3, tri- colored daughter of Victory Lap.

The calf was Drag Iron, a result of the first artificial insemanation s by the famous bull Jamakizm. His home was the rugged Appalachian foothills of Dickinson Cattle Barnesville Ohio.

This little bull slicked off to become a beautiful tri-color brindle of dark chocolade and gold verticals intersperced with ehite specks and spots. As Drag Iron matured, his huge body and massive horn spread became well known in the Texas Longhorn industry. He soon weight over a ton with more than 80 of horn tip-to-tip. Later to develope to 2260 lbs and 90 tip-to-tip at his passing.

Twice Drag Iron was entered in horn-measuring competitions. He won TLMA World champioen horn in september 2013 and in 2014 won all three World Champion divisions. In 2021 he was named CHAMPION ITLA GET OF SIRE.

Allthough optimistic, no one realized at that time how he would sire long, twisty horns, rapid weight gain, and beautiful brindlespot  paterns.
