“Solid cows that will breed back and pay the bills”
“Our 5L herd has proven to be extremely fertile and resistant. They have good feet, and GREAT udders They are easy fleshing and have the elasticity and efficiency to “bounce back” on dry feed in the fall af-
ter shipping. This allows us to winter them on much less hay than most our neighbors, as we can simply maintain body weight, rather than have to put weight on with

hay. It doesn’t matter if they are 3, or 12 years old. None of them get special treatment to perform. Having a family that works with me, I can’t afford to have anything that gets worked up easily. 5L cows, and bulls, find that happy medium in their disposition, so that they aren’t easily worked up and dangerous to be around, but still move and trail
out to pasture. Overall they are solid cows that will breed back and pay the bills on any operation, and they will look good while doing so.”
