Copperhead Bull Introduction 1/2 Charolais x 1/2 Red Angus (started in 2017)
We believe in options for customers. Everyone’s program needs to be geared to fit and make the most profit for their operation. We all make decisions every day in ranching and farming, like feed, seed, etc. Genet- ics from Finks is the same way. If we didn’t believe in options working for customers, we wouldn’t do it. These bulls are working! Plus, they are generally light colored for heat, and add a “red” hide option for many customers! Copperheads are the result of finding Red Angus, A.I. bulls that have some data on them that include controlled birth weight, carcass, and still excellent growth. We then A.I. all our virgin Charolais heifers (not just the lower end) to these bulls, to create Copperheads. These are not just cross bulls!!! Customer feedback from New York, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have been excellent. Number one
thing mentioned is fleshing ability on the bulls. They hold up and get cows bred and the calves have a touch of extra Charolais muscle in them. We highly recommend Copperheads for making replacements if desired also. That input of Charolais on a set of Red Angus, Beefmaster, Brah- man, etc. based cows can give that hybred vigor to a set of cows to control cow size, more muscle, and longevity. Remember Fink virgin females, which are the newest and freshest Cha- rolais genetics we have, are the dams of most of these bulls! Red Angus sires are highly selected also! Always a power set of bulls - moderate framed, thick, deep, huge tes- ticles, fertile! Copperheads used on straight black Angus cows (none with red genes) you should expect black hides, a few may have black hides and smokie hair.

We have used Wideload for several years and really like what we get. He’s average in the Red Angus breed for birth weight, top 40% YW and top 9% Marbling. He’s backed up by females from the Pelton herd in LaCrosse, KS who we have a lot of respect for.
Dam ranks in the top: 25% YW, 20% CW, 2% Marb., 10% TSI Out of a first calf Hondo dam! Two of the highest proven marbling in the breed show on the dams side, Penny Flash and Free Lunch. The beef industry is in need of more muscle - red meat yield - not expensive fat to put on. Cattle that marble, and have red meat, will be and NEED to be the future.
