• Our first Heat Seeker son to sell, and we will have a lot more in our upcoming sales. • Use him on cows or large framed heifers. • This good-looking rip combines top growth, moderate frame, below average Mature Weight, great feet, and great carcass. • A feeder calf siring machine here, and the heifers will make great cows. • Lot 5’s dam is now at Richard Wessell in IN.

We maintain a commercial herd, which keeps us grounded in the traits in our breeding stock that are economically important. The most important of these is reproductive traits, and we consistently achieve very good results in this area considering the nutrition provided and demands made on the cows (cows used as recips, short breeding season). Perhaps more easily measured are the carcass results. We feed out our steers and cull heifers, and we consistently achieve 83% and higher Prime grade on these HOME RAISED cattle, with all of the ones that do not grade Prime achieving CAB or other high Choice, and with no or very few YG 4 or 5. These cattle are raised on our farm to 600-700 pounds and then finished at Gregory Feedlot in Tabor, Iowa.
