Following our decision to downsize the herd in 2018, we have transitioned to exclusively using AI sires, eliminating the need for a herd bull. This change has allowed us to place a renewed emphasis on maternal traits, particularly those related to functional longevity, such as foot scores, teat and udder quality, and femininity. By carefully selecting 6-8 different bulls each year, we ensure the right mating possibilities to achieve a well-balanced EPD profile. Our commitment to excellence in growth, maternal, and carcass traits remains steadfast, with each mating hand-selected to produce superior results. The bulls listed below are a sampling of the bulls utilized recently in pursuit of these goals.
