Shock Wave is a fancy red and brown speckled bull that produces the greatly desired corkscrew twist horns on his daughters. His dam, Super Brownie, (a Measles Super Ranger daughter out of an all Butler cow) is known in the industry for her double twist lateral 67+” horns. His sire, Sonic Boom (a Jet Jockey son out of Cow Catcher granddaughter) was a beautiful black and white with great body and outstanding horn. Shock Wave has progeny over 60”s at 4 with that same lateral twist horns. He is so gentle that you can sit on his back when he is lying down in the pasture. He passes the brindled speckles and spots on to his calves and his smooth, long, clean, thick body too. If you want that twisted horn in your herd, try so females bred to Shock Wave or some of his yearlings who are already showing that twisted horn growth.

Rebel Red is one of the hottest bulls to hit the longhorn industry in several years. His progeny are making a significant impact with their horn development, conformation, and disposition. Rebel Red was the 1999 Longest Horned Bull TLBAA Horn Showcase for two consecutive years. His sire, Tabasco, is 15/16 Butler and his Dam is a blend of Texas Ranger, WR, and Butler. From the moment he was born, Charlene Semkin knew that he was going to be an impressive bull. She just didn't know that he would grow so much horn. "From the day he was born, he would come up to me, suck on my fingers, and beg to be scratched and loved. I knew right away that I didn't want to part with him," says Charlene. To this day, he is the center of attention as ranch visitors walk through her pastures. He still desires to be scratched and loved.
His calves show the most early horn growth of any bull we have ever used. They are all colors including black and black & whites. No trip to Semkin Longhorns is complete without seeing this phenomenal bull. Rebel Red is co-owned with Doreen Hickman of Hickman Longhorns.
