Recommended for heifers. Here is an embryo transfer calf that was purchased as a frozen embryo from Dr. Mark Johnson at the J&J Dispersion in Oklahoma. The dam has been proclaimed by many to be Northern Improvement’s greatest daughter. She has proven to generate unparalleled look, structural soundness and power. She has been flushed to mainly Simmental bulls as she is the dam of the 2010 Reserve National champion percentage Simmental heifer and the 2010 National Western Reserve champion percentage Simmental bull, WLTR Renegade. This mating to OSU Currency has produced an exceptional calving ease bull. Just look at his picture, and combine this with a well balanced EPD package and you can see this is a must see bull. Selling 2/3 interest and full possession.

Recommended for large frame heifers. The Lut progeny are famous for their exceptional style, and this bull is certainly no exception. What sets this bull apart from the other Lut’s is his growth. He is larger framed than most Lut sons we have been around. His outstanding dam is now a donor female at Sullivan Farms in Dunlap, Iowa after she was the high selling female in the Triple B dispersion in Nebraska in 2010. Selling 2/3 interest and full possession.
