“For the past 8 years, we have been purchasing Coleman bulls. We started buying these bulls because we believe that the fastest way to improve cow herd genetics is through bull selection. Our goal was to create the perfect cow herd, one that is uniform, flourishes on grass with lower feed intake, is maternal, and takes care of herself as well as her calf. For the past decade, our calf crop has been marketed through a grass finished program. We decided that Coleman genetics was the perfect fit for this market given the early maturing, easy fleshing characteristics of their genetic base. The carcass traits for our forage finished calves continue to standout in the marketplace. Coleman bulls have improved our cattle grading choice on average of 20-40% better than the industry average on forage.” - Flying M Livestock, Ellensburg, Washington
“Coleman Angus Genetics have taken our cattle to the next level in terms of producing easy-fleshing, maternally-oriented cattle. We were fortunate to be able to purchase Resource 708, who quickly rose to the top with his impressive phenotype and impeccable feet and athleticism. We have many daughters in our herd who are sound structured and appear to have similar added longevity as their sire, Coleman Mission 1447, who is our young herd sire. The Charlo influence has been a game changer.” - Mark and Laurie Gaugler, Gaugler Angus Ranch, Judith Gap, Montana
