Better Bigger over
Moderate Intake & Mature Size We avoid high intake, large mature size genetics whenever possible. To improve efficiency and reduce cowherd maintenance costs we strive to find cattle with less Dry Matter Intake and less Mature Size relative to their level of performance. We highlight DMI, MW and MH EPDs in our catalog when they rank in smallest 50% of the breed. Docility & Foot Quality To us, Docility and Foot Quality are more than convenience traits, they are critical foundational traits. We put a heavy premium on Docility and Foot Quality in our selection process and highlight EPDs that rank in the top 35%. Hair Shedding Ability In our environment, the ability to slick off quickly and completely is critical to performance and reproduction on fescue pastures. We avoid genetics in the bottom third of the population and highlight the top 35% in our catalog. Fertility and Longevity For commercial customers that rely on our genetics, nothing happens until their females get pregnant and nothing is more impactful to their bottom line than the functionality and longevity of their cow herds. We are enrolled in the Maternal Plus whole herd reporting program and are excited about how our herd ranks for Functional longevity and about our ability to emphasize and improve this trait going forward. Carcass Quality and Value End product is what the cattle business is all about. Carcass Quality and Value have been very high on our priority list for the last three decades and continue to be today. Multiple generations of selection pressure give us a strong genetic base for carcass traits and allows us to now place more emphasis on efficiency and maternal value. FHCC females are designed around an approach that continues to demand performance but balances that with a strong emphasis on key maternal, efficiency & convenience traits.
