PCC Semen Source

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 minimize expenses and maximize profits. 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, easy-fleshing, 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. Our 3 and 4 frame cows weigh 1100 to 1250 pounds. That is big enough!

Calving Ease and Fertility...

If you are concerned about profitability, then calving ease and fertility are 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. Dead calves have distressingly low weaning weights. Likewise, open cows produce zilch in the way of weaning weights. True fertility is more a function of low maintenance requirements and body condition (fleshing ability) than anything else. Maintenance requirements must be met before any weight gain (improved body condition) or reproduction can take place.

Available Sires...

Over the years we have acquired and produced some outstanding low-maintenance, 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. We also have three Lowlin e bulls — two black and one red. For the first time ever, we have a Mashona bull in our lineup. We have 58 bulls to choose from — with bulls to fit every budget. Quantity Discounts are available, except on bulls with a “limited” inventory.
