KANSAS Bull Test

17770 May Day Rd, Green, KS (GPS Address)

I would like to welcome you to the 82nd Annual Kansas Bull Test. Every year these producers bring an excellent set of bulls and every year the competition for the top indexing bull becomes fiercer. This year we saw some incredible gains and the bulls perform at the highest level. I would like to thank the Larson Farms crew for all the hard work and dedication that went into feeding and caring for the bulls. At sale time they will be ready to go straight to work.

We are headed into an unprecedented time for the cow/calf business. With the total cow numbers low we are going to see some of the highest feeder calves we have ever seen. Many of the analysts and market gurus are predicting that times will be good for the foreseeable future. So here is your opportunity to add high quality, marketable genetics that will increase your pounds of calf sold and have a remarkable effect on your bottom line.

All the bulls have been semen tested, current on their vaccinations and ready to go to work. Thank you for your continued interest of the Kansas Bull Test program and the value that it adds to these bulls. Additional information will be made available on the website at www.kansasbulltest. com. Please feel free to call me or any of the other producers if you would like more information about the bulls.

All the best,

Andee Marston The Marston Group, LLC

APEX Savannah W448D

Kingston is the big boy of the pen finishing well over 1,400#. Yes, he’s a Christmas calf but boy has he done well! He has 10 EPDs in the top 30% of the breed. He’s out of an 11 year old Sure Bet cow and our APEX Dividend sire. Being born when he was will give him enough age to cover a few more cows as well. It’ll be difficult to miss the King. Help yourself!

55

Arrow H Klassified K001

This guy won’t be Klassified for very long once you walk in the pen. This APEX Dividend son is real easy on the eyes, with a moderate 83# BW and exceptional growth numbers and nearly a 15 inch ribeye. What an amazing set of feeder calves he’ll produce and heifers to keep!

HPF/HILL Uprising C104

Kindred Remedy is a super well-made and heavily muscled son of Hartman’s Remedy where they recently sold 31 brothers to K009 that averaged over $31,000. Granted one brother sold for a half million which boosted the average, but all the Remedy sons are GOOD and are similar in type with great rear quarters, thick and deep. You’ll be the envy of all the neighbors when he’s running in your pasture!

HPF/HILL Uprising C104

Not every year on the KBT do you have the opportunity to purchase two full ET brothers. #57 and #68. Black Knight is a son of Remedy. You can read the footnote above as well. This bull is just slightly bigger framed than #57. Remedy’s offspring are in big demand wherever they sell and look a lot alike and Black Knight is no exception. Take advantage of genetics that are hot!

Kansas is a very nicely made Proclamation son. He has 12 EPDs in the top 30% of the breed and ratioed 111 on test. Kansas’ mother has a brother on the ground out of Dividend that’s going to be every bit as good as Kansas. She’s proving to be one of the best cows in the herd! I’ll be happy to buy back his heifer calves to make cows out of them. I think that highly of Kansas’ mother!

Kudos to this guy! He may be the youngest bull on the sale 4-10-22 birth date. Give this bull 2-3 more months and he’d look just like the older January bulls on the sale. I brought this guy because of the potential he has and the terrific Brilliance dam he’s out of. He may be the “sleeper” of the sale with the most merit of any if you like great maternal attributes! His Milk, MWW and API EPDs are in the top 30%.

60

Arrow H Keynote K021

CCR Cowboy Cut 5048Z

Keynote has 11 EPDs in the top 30% of the breed. The Proclamation sons are very popular across the country. Part of the reason why is because he sires moderate BW and, in this case, weans at 800#! Check out his API of 162.

Arrow H Kurus K051

This Knight puts together quite a few very good aspects. He’ll have very good calving ease and yet has the growth spread that every producer desires to have in their next calf crop.
