Since it looks like perhaps these cattle are a little older than I originally thought they were, It is definitely time to start looking here. So, without further ado, here are today's top candidates - two brindle-ish bulls and one black one (I've always admired brindle colored animals):
Bouncer:

Bouncer's calves average just 53.8 lbs. He produces steers with tremendous horn spread and base, many of whom have been major show winners. He passes on his brindle coloration in which the brown, black red, dun and white combine for a beautiful effect which often combines with roan faces. He passes on this extraordinary color, increased growth and moderate size with trophy quality horns.

The Shadow:

The Shadow's tremedous horn spread and shape make him anexcellent choice to put over white or lighter colored cows.He looks to add size and horn.

WANTED MAN's tremendous horn, color and gentle nature captured our hearts and earned him a role as our herd sire. You will find great names like Zigfield, Zhivago, Phenomenon and many others in this bulls impressive pedigree. After loosing approximately 3 inches of tip, this bull still measures 68.25" tip to tip and sports over 77" of total horn. Ranked second in total horn at the 2004 TLBAA Horn Showcase. Wanted Man has certainly proven that he can put the color and horn you are looking for in your pasture.

I like the look of "The Shadow" - and that's how I'd pick a mate for a bull. But I guess maybe you have other things to think about. :)
I pick Shadow as well. He is a very 'sexy' Bull. haha!

I like 'WANTED MAN'. Gentle is a good thing for a place with wee bairns, and the horns are magnificent.
BTW, IMHO, brindle is overrated. It's only popular because they made a big deal out of a brindle lead bull in an old movie about a cattle drive.
I dunno much about that ol movie, nor did I know that brindle was rated at all (not to mention overrated) I just have always really like the way brindle dogs and brindle cattle look. Kinda like a tiger Rrrraarrggghhh!
It would be nice to get some big horn genes flowing....
