Time for Lisa is the complete female. She is pretty enough to produce show heifers, but her real strength is her potential to be a great brood cow with longevity. Her paternal grandmother is still producing at 16 years old and her maternal grandsire was pasture breeding cows at 14 years old. Her dam will calve in March as she does every year since 2018. Lisa is big footed, powerfully made with thickness and depth of rib. She is sound moving with a big hip. She is the kind to build a herd around. I have built my herd with her mother. DNA tested homo polled and genomically enhanced EPDs. Due to calve April 14, 2025 to the calving ease bull, Schooley Standout.

We are fairly new to the Simmental breed, however, we are pretty high on this calf. To be a calving ease half blood bull that has power and stoutness, while still being built incredible, we think that’s a hard task to do. Talk about a bull that is soft legged and striking but still doesn’t disappear as he goes away. Not to mention, his sire is one of the hottest bulls in the Angus show world right now and his mother derives from the great BCII program, he is backed by a stout pedigree.

We bought “Halo” in the Land of Lincoln sale from Jon Jordan in the fall of 2014 and haven’t been able to take our eyes off her since. She has been the foundation for our program by being our most prolific donor that never misses averaging 10 embryos per flush. This mating is not easy to part with. Halo has always been front pasture material, and now at 10 years old, she will always be our high standard for the herd. With her age, there will not be many more opportunities to purchase embryos. We have consistently sold high quality heifers and bulls, every year, with many repeat customers. If her pedigree and phenotype don’t impress you, then the docility she passes to her offspring should. They’re always the first to break and warm up to the feed pan. Mating her with TJSC Coping With Destiny 9K has been the easiest breeding decision we have made in a while. This bull simply impresses in every aspect of the word. He is the complete package that combines big feet and legs with stout power and a killer look. Also being undefeated winning Kansas City, Louisville and OKC. Buy these embryos with a goal to improve your herd and we promise that you will not be disappointed.
