Open Yearling Commercial Replacement Heifers
sell Thursday, April 19, 2012
The replacement females we are offering are sired by either Black Angus Bulls or Black Simmental Bulls. There will be approx. 40 Black Angus sired females and 40 Black Simmental sired females. Actual numbers will be posted once we pick our own replacements.
Generations of stacked black genetics that will fit the planned crossbreeding or straightbred programs of commercial cow/calf producers. The cowherd is straightbred Black Angus; continuously bred Angus from 1984 until 2010.
Our cow herd is first and foremost reproductively sound. Reproduction and maternal traits are stressed, but with today's beef industry, we do not ignore growth and carcass characteristics.
