Heterosis and breed complements are powerful tools. Here at 5L we’ve spent the last few years developing a prod - uct, which will make these tools more accessible as well as more user friendly to our customers. We have identi - fied Charolais genetics that can complement the highly adaptable, maternally balanced and high carcass value genetics of our Red & Black Angus. When combined with 5L Red Angus, the resulting hybrids’ genetic makeup will support faster gains, more efficient feed conversion, consistently heavier out-weights, increased dressing percent and capture of yield grade premiums – and they’ll still hit the Quality Grade targets 5L genetics have been known from. These bulls are Buckskin in color. They are relatively moderate framed. They are definitely Wide - Bodies, and their dispositions fit within our Red Angus pens. They represent an optimum balance of traits and a user-friendly means to harvest heterosis and capture optimal levels of additive genetic variation available through the Charolais breed. We call them “Opti-Bulls” and they are just one more user-friendly tool 5L provides for our customers’ toolboxes to help ensure their continued economic viability. Next up, 5L “Opti-Bulls”...
