We have built the breeding program at the Bar L Cattle Company around our Premier Herd Sire J.R. Seman. He is a 1997 son of the late, great Gunman and is out of one of the best producing cows in the breed J.R. Sequential. J.R. Seman, commonly referred to as "The Number One Son of Gunman," is a powerful blend of Senator, Bail Jumper and G-Man. He is a very smooth bodied bull with over 65" of horn at five years old.

He is one of the most acclaimed bulls in the breed today. In 1999 J.R. Seman was rated the second Longest Horned Two Year Old Bull in the breed by the Texas Longhorn Journal. In 2000 He was one of only 32 out of over 250 of the all-time greatest bulls to be voted in the Top 50 Most Valuable Herd Sires in both categories of the Texas Longhorn Journal’s Sire Service Value Survey. Again in 2000 J.R. Seman was named the Fourth Longest Horned Three year old Bull in the breed in the Texas Longhorn Journal’s 2000 Longest Horned Bulls issue.

As impressive as he is to look at, J.R. Seman’s true strength is his ability to make a major impact on a cow or herd with his genetics. He was selected to be the mainstay at the Bar L Cattle Company ranch for this very reason. Just as his sire Gunman had the ability to produce off spring even better than himself, J.R. Seman possesses that hybrid vigor that enables his powerful genetics to not only be passed on to his offspring but to literally explode into his offspring.

J.R. Seman calves have shown explosive horn growth at young ages. This is most certainly the G-Man influence showing up. His Bail Jumper and Senator background are very evident in his offspring as well. His calves have been consistently tall with a lot of substance and volume. Weaning weights have been very high. As we participate on the show circuit, we are very pleased with the conformation and size to go with the very strong horn growth on the J.R. Seman calves.

In addition to his powerful genetic ability, J.R. Seman brings an intangible benefit to a breeding program; he is a very well known bull that has gotten a lot of press coverage and promotion because of his impressive horn growth and genetic superiority. This helps bring value to his offspring and cows that are bred to him.

We hope that you will consider J.R. Seman power genetics when purchasing your next bull, cow or heifer. Please contact us for information on cows bred to and calves by J.R. Seman!
