YEARLING BULLS

K6

First of the four G41 sons in our small yearling offering. These four bulls are all very similar in their makeup, moderate framed and very deep set. They are all short marked and solid red. K6 is out of one of the best uddered cows on the ranch, who is also the dam of our C009 bull who we used quite heavily.

K7

Younger aged bull that is really starting to develop. K7’s dam is of the Firefly line that is so maternal.

K10

Nicely balanced prospect here whose heavily pigmented dam goes back to the 1L Beth cow. K10 is freckle faced.

high calving ease here. Dam is a standout Digby 20C daughter.

All calves are weaned with “Quiet Wean” nose flaps for lower stress impact on calves and cows

Gold TPR Breeders The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production. Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program.

• Herd inventory submitted prior to inventory surcharge deadline.

• Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory.

• Complete reporting of birth, weaning and yearling weights for all live calves recorded in the calf crop.

• Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded yearling weight.

• Ultrasound data reported on 25% or more of the calf crop

The basic concept of beef cattle performance records is to measure genetic differences between animals for traits of economic importance. The American Hereford Association (AHA) recognizes the importance of performance records in today’s beef industry and through Whole Herd Total Performance Records (TPR™), can provide a system flexible enough to meet the needs of the most sophisticated record keeping breeder or those who desire to keep only the basics.

Competition for commercial industry purchasing power between and within breeds is keen, and those breeders who document their seedstock’s performance for the commercial man’s investment have a distinct advantage in today’s beef industry as it moves toward “specification production” from conception to slaughter.

Whole Herd TPR is a system of registration and performance tracking whereby every participating breeder updates his/her cow herd inventory annually. The system is positively endorsed by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF), a North American umbrella organization of beef breed associations, beef producers, researchers and the academic community.

With this system, the AHA measures economically relevant beef production traits such as fertility, longevity and reproductive efficiency. Furthermore, the greater volume of data reported from each herd for measured growth and carcass traits enhances the accuracy of Hereford expected progeny differences (EPDs).
