We use many of the most proven
sires of each breed to ensure genetic improvement.
We simply don't believe your commercial cowherd is our
personal experiment station to test unproven bulls.
Then we use AI and ET to propagate the genetics that
have risen to the top.
The easiest way to capture
hybrid vigor and utilized breed complimentarity is
through the use of hybrid bulls. Thus, our main
focus is Balancers®
and SimAngus. The combination of maternal
Continentals with Angus genetics provides a more
complete animal that is competitive in the pasture, in
the feedlot and on the rail. No single breed can
touch the versatility of these hybrids.
It has been said that you really
know a subject if you can teach it. That is why I
encourage you to call me if you have questions on topics
such as health, genetics, nutrition, rotational grazing,
marketing, etc. I am happy to share my experience
with you to help you make more profit.

The most marketable calves are
50-75% Angus (red or black) and 25-50% Continental.

are a single color and sex command the highest prices.
Feeders would like medium frame calves that show some
muscle expression. A preconditioning program is
becoming the industry norm.
Several options are available
for marketing Gelbvieh-influenced cattle. These
options include:
