Breeding Philosophy
Females are the foundation of any herd. Every year we assess our heifers to determine which will be good replacement cows. Over the last several years we have slowly, but consistently improved our females. We set our rafter over the following 9 traits when selecting females:
- Proven cow family (fertility, longevity, milk)
- Phenotype
- Legs & Feet
- Easy Fleshing
- Perfect udder
- Superior performance
- Exceptional carcass traits
- Docility
- Genetic Defect Free
- We A.I. our females to outcross sires that are industry leaders for performance and quality
- We invest heavily in our embryo program to take advantage of female donors who can broaden the base of our genetics for sale and for replacement
- We select young herd sires that have the potential to become industry leaders
- The bulls we produce will help our customers achieve higher quality replacement heifers and superior feeder cattle
OUR BRAND COVERS IT!
