Every year at the conclusion of our sale season we ask, “What can we improve on?” “What do we need to do in order to keep moving forward?” It’s because of those questions, that we decided to add polled status testing to our catalog. We have marketed several bulls over the years that were polled by their pedigrees. We have now expanded on that foundation. All bulls selling have been tested, and they are identified as either homo polled or hetero polled in their pedigree boxes. The polled gene is a recessive trait. This means both parents must be a carrier, or possess that gene in order for a calf to be born horned. Homo polled means the bull does not carry the gene, while hetero polled means the bull does carry the horn gene. All bulls selling have had weights taken at birth, weaning and yearling and have been recorded with the American Simmental Assoication (ASA). Those values combined with each bull’s DNA, provide Geneomically Enhanced EPDs. Those EPDs are updated every week, therefore there may be slight variations in data from the time the catalog went to print and what has been updated on sale day. EPDs were pulled for the catalog the week of February 1 st . Please note there are several embryo transfer animals in this offering. Those are designated with an ET in their birthweight data. Those bulls were raised by a recip, and therefore their data is a reflection on their environment and the recip cow’s condition and milking ability. Please reference those bulls’ EPDs for a more accurate prediction on their breeding potential. There are also bulls in this offering that were born a twin. Those individuals are identified with TW in their birthweight data. % Simmental is an animal’s Simmental and Commercial Simmental (when applicable) breed composition. PB=Purebred Simmental Transfers are done by request. Please contact Bobbi if you would like your purchase transfered to your Simmental account.
