Your Semen Source |
||
If you are still trying
to increase frame and cow size, then you won’t be interested
in any of the bulls we have to offer. However, if you are serious
about
reducing
frame
and cow size, and if you are serious about increasing thickness and
fleshing ability, and if you are serious about calving ease and cow
efficiency, then you have come to the right place. Our goal is to
provide the genetics that will help you maximize profits, not necessarily
performance. We may be your only source for this type of genetics.

Moderate
Size…
|
||
What does
it take to produce moderate sized cattle that are profitable on the
ranch, as well as in the feedlot? It takes moderate sized bulls.
Contrary to popular opinion, it’s impossible to produce an efficient, 1100-pound cow with bulls that are over a 4 frame score. Although I’ve seen some 6-frame cows that only weigh 1100 pounds, it’s not a pretty sight. They are tall, thin, gutless cows that are very frail looking. |
||
Many people
mistakenly believe any cow under a 5 frame is a dwarf or a miniature.
They’re
wrong! Just for the fun of it we challenge you to take a tape measure
and
see how tall 48 or 50
inches really is. You will discover that 3 and 4 frame cows are not
really as small as you thought they were. When you add some thickness
and fleshing ability to a smaller framed cow you have a package that
is without equal. We have some thick, easy-fleshing 3 and 4 frame
cows that weigh over 1200 pounds. That is big enough. |

Calving Ease… |
||
If you are concerned about profitability,
calving ease and fertility are still the two most important traits
you should be selecting for. It doesn’t matter how much growth
potential a calf has if he is born dead. Profit always begins with
a live calf. Unfortunately, calving ease has all but been bred out
of most breeds of cattle, even those that were once noted for their
calving ease. |

| Available Sires… | ||
Over the
years we have acquired a substantial selection of moderate sized
bulls
with thickness
and
fleshing ability. Calving ease has
always been our specialty. You can choose from Angus, Red Angus,
Hereford, Tarentaise and Composite bulls. Our semen is competitively
priced between $6 and $24 per straw, with quantity discounts available — except
on bulls with a limited semen inventory. |
