     137Y is a GREAT moderate-sized, goggle-eyed Hereford bull. He died just short of his 17th birthday. His daughters are GREAT cows. Keith Lapp said he has never culled a 137Y daughter for bad udders, bad eyes, prolapses, or foot problems. GREAT longevity! 137Y’s dam was 14 years old when he was born. He is one of very few Hereford bulls you can use on first-calf heifers with confidence. This bull will move your cowherd back to the future. Limited Semen. Co-owned with the Lapp Hereford Ranch.

    I first saw this bull when I attended the GrazeFest Convention in Alabama in 2004. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I was finally able to obtain a semen interest in him in 2006. 123 is a polled, calving ease bull that possesses tremendous thickness, fertility, foraging ability and longevity. His momma produced until she was 17. 123 is a linebred bull with the highest possible DNA score for feed efficiency. He is also a proven producer of high-quality, grass-finished beef. Co-owned with Bent Tree Farms.

       Republic is a Polled Hereford bull with extreme thickness and muscling in a smaller frame. He is a throw back to the time when Hereford cattle could thrive in environments that were too tough for other cattle. Republic is the result of flushing a good, 4-frame cow to a very stout, 1973-born bull. He is in the top 5% of the Hereford breed for birth weight and calving ease. Republic is co-owned with the Flying River Ranch and Schu-Lar Polled Herefords.
