Feature lot to start the sale, the stoutest heifer in the offering really stands out in the pen! Kahoot, along with her dam, were shown last year at Bonanza and her sweet disposition made her a natural fit for our niece McKenna to make her beef showing debut. Her young Dam is coveted part of our cowherd raising a herd bull prospect this year. Really nice set of numbers and performance data to accompany her attention grabbing phenotype. 130K indexed 104 at birth, 118 at weaning and 118 at yearling - this is a complete package!

More often than not this heifer catches my eye in the pen and one that should be staying in the herd. Fortunately, her moderate framed, sound uddered dam 220B (who has always been valued in our herd) has given us another heifer this year. Last year we used a maternal brother - OSF 125J as clean up here and then to breed the majority of the herd at Vintage Herefords. Frontenac’s dam - 36D has an impressive herd bull prospect again this year.
