Biggest Yearling Contest
UDFoM is hosting two biggest yearling buck contests, the biggest typical yearling and the biggest non-typical yearling. Eligible entries will be from any semen and or bred does won in either the games or purchased at the live/silent auction from our 2023 convention.
To enter the contest, semen will have to be used in the 2023 breeding season. A maximum of 3 does can be bred per straw of semen. At the 2024 convention all does will have to be registered with UDFoM along with their DNA number and which semen they were AI’d with, DNA must be provided at time of registration.
To qualify for the contest, you must provide DNA and picture of the yearling showing the tag # and a tape of the width of the antlers. All scoring will be done by an official SCI scoring panel. The winning antlers must have antler core DNA’d before prize money can be awarded. The antler core will be taken by the official scorer & contest chairperson, it will then be sent into NADR for DNA verification at UDFoM cost. No limit for entries by any one farm or person. Buyers of semen without A-I capabilities can go into a partnership or buy open does and have them bred by farms that A-I. The contest is not limited to Michigan buyers & we encourage everyone to join in.
The prize will be $2,000 from UDFoM for each category to be paid at our 2026 convention when these bucks will be 1 ½ years old. Along with the prize money the winner will also get a free full-page ad & a farm article in the Quest Magazine. The semen donor for the biggest contest winner will also get a free full-page ad in the Quest Magazine.

We are selling SF Y945 2022 Doe bottle fed and very tame. She is out of The Heat on Gunfighter on Blue Chip on Triple Crown on Hardcore on Tina on Hardcore sister. This is a lot of years of stacking Genetics. Her pedigree is all about Tines, Beams, Width and Frames. She should speak for herself.
B 721 is bottle fed and very tame . She is out of The Fed on Rangers Rolex on Hardcore on Or2 as the anchor and she is bred to The Ace . This should be A serious Production Girl .B 721 has produced a clean 175” Yearling out of Cash Reserve last year. So you are buying a proven doe bred to The Ace.

WANT CWD RESISTANCE?
We have been working for five years on markers and the last two years breeding cycles with GEBV with more coming this spring.
In Texas it is the latest rage, we are already there!
The circles at right represents “Mulder’s Chart” which shows some of the interactions of the codon markers. Antagonistic (RED/ OFF RED) codons have had negative effect on susceptibility of cervids. We believe that the Survival Markers (Green) have proven to be more resistant to CWD. Along with the codon markers, we are using Dr. Seabury’s GEBV research in our deer herd.
