Warenda Domino D508 (P)
Sire: Tyndale Noddy (P) Dam: Warenda S67 (P)

D508 broke his front leg as a yearling bull. He had always been one of the best bulls for the year drop so the decision was made to keep him. He is the only sire we are using by the legendary Tyndale Noddy. We believe Noddy crossed with Mexico will work extremely well. He is pictured here at 18 months.
