We select a few South Shadow bulls each year to be " ranch tested " in our commercial herd. All but one bull servicing our commercial herd are home-raised South Shadow bulls. With this hands on approach we keep up to date and on course with our registered herd criteria.
EPD and Performance Records: Our herd has been enrolled in the Canadian Angus Association's Performance Program since its initiation. EPD's can be an important tool, although they are not perfect or absolute. There remain essential herd traits not addressed directly by performance testing and EPDs that our cattle must have. These traits include fleshing ability, capacity, fertility, a gentle disposition and structural correctness. We believe visual appraisal and individual performance and type are just as important in selective breeding decisions.
Four decades of continuous genetic improvement of each generation,
is reliably and consistently producing quality herd sires and females.

Below you will find the Reference Sires; natural cover herd bulls and A.I. sires which were used in the 2006 breeding season.
The bulls we use, either A.I. or natural service, are selected to represent a balanced trait selection. We combine a hands-on approach, as well as resourcing EPD, ROP, and carcass evaluation data.
Each animal's genetic base plays a major role while sire and dam summaries provide performance data necessary for consistent production of outstanding progeny.
