About Us

Our Program

Thank you for taking an interest in our bulls. Our operation is separate and located approximately 25 miles southwest of Tom & Carol's place (George's parents). We run cattle on pasture year round.  Our cows are bred in multiple sire groups and registered calves are DNAed for parentage. We calve in April, then the calves are weaned in mid-October. During the winter months, or periods of drought, we provide our cows with hay and protein lick tubs. However cows are still expected to always be hunting for forage.

 

Bull Development

Just as George's folks have been doing for years, our bulls are developed out on pasture and are not overfed. We feel this promotes better longevity and they should not lose condition while breeding. After we wean all our calves, we sort off the bulls into a smaller pasture to start feeding them for the winter. We feed our bull calves on average 3 lbs of an alfalfa based pellet and approximately 15 lbs of hay daily. The bulls are then kicked out to their spring and summer pastures and provided with only free choice salt and mineral. We keep our sale bulls separate from females for the breeding season. When the bulls return home for their second winter, they are fed alfafa pellets and  hay again until they sell and are delivered to their new owners.

Embryo Bulls

We have another embryo transfer (ET) bull to offer in this year’s sale. Five years ago we decided to flush our top producing females once they reached 10 years age in natural production. We’ve included the ET bull’s actual data off the recipient cow. See more details below on the bull, lot 7C 301 ET. 

Guarantee & Delivery

We guarantee our bulls to be sound breeders for the first year, however we do not guarantee against buyers’ negligence or act of God. We will offer free delivery for up to 250 miles.

We feel these bulls turned out nicely. Jess and I appreciate your support and we look forward to producing genetics to better your herd!
