Crossroad Whisper, full sister to Radium
A genetic giant has moved south! “Crossroad Radium” with over 400 recorded progeny from 61 of the top herds in Canada makes “Radium” one of the most proven Fleckvieh sires, and he is still going strong. Barry La Batte consistantly has one of the highest sale averages in Canada. Here is what Barry says; “Radium is really one of the top sires of the breed. He just kind of puts it all together. He is a calving ease specialist, his calves have lots of growth and performance and his daughters make excellent cows.” This all lends itself perfectly to our production of” farmer friendly” non-diluter Fleckvieh bulls. High accuracy top 1% calving ease. In addition to Barry’s words “Radium” contributes great color and absolutely wonderful dispositions. “Radium: progeny have been in great demand with at least seven selling for $20.000 or more. In Beechinor Bros. sale 46 bulls ave. $7975. “Radium” sons ave. $10.500! We have a great set of “Radium” sons that will be available this fall and a select few females bred to “Radium” as well. As always we welcome your inquiries. Thank you, Stanley.
