FR Zodiak 134
Sire: +-GS Emperor Didor 135
Dam: +JJ Ms Dos Didor Crata
ABBA: 780484

2001 ABBA Grey Show Bull of the Year
2000-2001 Premier Show Bull of Florida
~ Zodiak is the most complete bull produced on our farm to date. He was the progeny of a flush that was done in 1997, from our top donor cow. F & R has limited semen available on Fr Zodiak 134. After winning 2001 ABBA Grey Brahman show bull of the Year, Zodiak was sent to be collected only one time. We lost Zodiak in January 2002. He was a very complete Brahman  from end to end. Zodiak possessed a great disposition, perfect feet and legs, tremendous muscling, strong top line and a clean underline. He is the picture of what an ideal Brahman bull should represent. His Dam, +JJ Ms Dos Didor Crata, has been the greatest contributor to our herd at F & R. Her progeny and their offspring have dominated the show ring for 16 years. His sire is out of Grey Shadow Ranch in Florida, +-GS Emperor Didor 135 . 135 has produced numerous champions on the east coast and throughout the United States as well as many show bull and cows of the year for the ABBA.
