• Just as with our Angus herd, we use many proven sires in our Hereford herd long after they have graduated from the bull-of-the- month club. The sire of Lot 77 is one such example. Because of his excellent daughters and proven calving ease, we are still using this bull in our program. •Z0271 sells with a heifer calf (Lot 77A) born 12/23/24, 67 lbs, sired by AW Statesman.

• Cows like Mead Z0253 of E33 U1054 have been used through our 80+ years to build one of the top herds in the nation. We like cows that can do it all and accomplish that on minimal inputs. Top 10% Calving ease and growth traits. Top 1% Milk; Top 20% Marbling and CHB. Top 8% BMI index. These no-nonsense cows, like Lot 76, are the founda- tion for our success. Use this young Hereford cow to help build yours. •Z0253 sells with a heifer calf (Lot 76A) born 12/10/24, 64 lbs, sired by AW Statesman. Tattoo: 51838 •Lot 76 was AI bred to Bar JZ On Demand 619K on 3/21/2025. Pasture exposed to Black Angus bull from 4/6/2025 to sale day.

• Longevity is bred into Mead Z1008 from both top and bottom. Dam of this 2-year-old raised her at 13 years of age. Sire is a maternal brother to the dam of the leadoff Hereford cow that is still sound and functioning at 9 years of age. Not sure there is a better way to judge longevity than to look at the parents in the same environment. The bull pictured, Mead R447 Hometown X394, is a full brother to Lot 78 and was born just one year earlier than Z1008. This bull topped the Hereford bull division in his sale. Consistency, Longevity and Excellence. •Z1008 sells with a bull calf (Lot 78A) born 12/2/24, 51 lbs, sired by A&W Statesman. Tattoo: 51758 •Lot 78 was AI bred to Bar JZ On Demand 619K on 2/25/2025.
