This is one of 3 Spartan heifers that we got from the flush. 323E’s TI numbers are off the chart and then to add her Encore calf to the mix should be exciting. Lots of power from end to end.

AI bred 04/02/18 to HOOKS EAGLE 6E (3253742). PE 4/15-6/16/18 to NLC THOR 16E (3317931). Confirmed bred to AI and due 1/12/19. Genomic enhanced EPDs. U25E had been a favorite for a long time. She is by far the smallest frame but what she lacks in height she more than makes up for in width. Super quiet out of a equally quiet cow family that will always raise bulls and replacement heifers.

G22E is a powerful red heifer that will add some pounds to everything she raises. Stunningly deep and bold in her type she has a different pedigree to build that outcross red bull we have all been looking for. (The pasture bull with the red heifers was a heterozygous black bull. Moderate frame.)

This deep dark red heifer has about as balanced numbers as you can find. Her no holes pedigree leaves you with a unique outcross heifer. She loaded with capacity and power.

Not very often can you find as heavy muscled, clean fronted female in a moderate package. Her maternal sister went to Begger’s Diamond V last year. Her API in the top 20% and TI in the top 4% are just as exciting. Pasture bred to a IR Zeus son with length and numbers to add to her calf.

AI bred to TJ FIRST CUT (3022818). Confirmed bred 02/10/19. This is one of the best half blood females Hill’s Ranch has to offer. Hills Tuell Advance is complete from start to finish and not your average show female. She is confirmed first time AI to TJ First Cut and due the beginning of February. Too fancy to leave home, she placed Reserve Champion Female at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Watch for a video on our website as this heifer looks even better than she did this summer.
