Zuzu is a lot like all the Xtra Charge calves we had, just a year older, very docile, larger framed, and big testicles that measured 41cm this fall. This smooth double polled bull is really going to sire a group of calves that will be stamped with consistency. XLR 8A ( Lot 34) is a ¾ quarter brother and is actually very similar in make. Zuzu is soggy made with a long spine and will definitely put extra pounds on your herd. We have already grown him up now you can put him right to work. NOTES:

Zoltin’s father, Xpectation, was a sire we used in our heifer pen for 2 years and we also gave him the opportunity to breed some of the better females in our herd. Zoltin is the best of the whole bunch, black, smooth double polled and a maternal half-brother to XLR 14A (Lot 36) he is a clean made bull with a top notch pedigree to go with his strong muscle pattern. He can go to work right away on a larger group of heifers or young cows and have healthy, good-looking calves. Zoltin’s calves will have excellent growth once they get going and he would add some quarter to a group of British based females while still keeping the muscle of a Limo.

After seeing him sell at Wulfs sale, we were looking to him to add some natural muscle, a smaller frame and remain very docile and we are overjoyed with the results. There is no question this bull has stamped his calves and they are truly what the majority of cattlemen are looking for from pasture to plate. Air Wulf is about as special as they get, Homoyzgous for the Leptin gene. He has plenty of natural muscle, depth of body, clean lined and big testicles and is a complete package.

Axel Rose is Thimble’s 5th calf and is her best yet with previous herd sires selling to Jay Booth and Bob Barrass and 2 daughters who standout in the cow herd just like their momma, one being the mother of XLR 2A(Lot 29). Axel Rose is likely one the most stylish calves we have ever produced, he is the kind of bull that could excel in the show ring and with big performance will sire a set of calves who could be very difficult to beat in their own right. If you are looking for a calf that will be influential on your herd for years to come do not look past Axel Rose. Homo Polled Test pending.

Limousin bulls have been used since 1986 on my 150 head of crossbred cows, consisting of Limousin/ Simmental and Hereford. The results have worked well providing a solid color and fleshier calves with bigger butts - bigger butts are where the meat matters. The longevity of the Limousin bulls and females are a very important part of my program. The Limousin bulls are used on both heifers and cows with no problems. Erwin Gaal
UNDERSTANDING EPD’S Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are the most reliable predictor of an animal’s genetic merit, and the most powerful tool that is available for making genetic progress. An EPD predicts the difference in performance of future offspring of a parent, as compared to progeny from other parents, when each are bred to mates of equal value. The observed performance of an animal is determined by both genetics and environment, so EPDs only predict differences due to genes passed on from parent to offspring and actual performance will vary based on the individual animal’s specific genes and environmental factors. By comparing an animal’s EPD for a given trait to the average EPD of all animals in the breed, you can determine if the animal is above or below average and whether they will add desirable traits to your herd. For Gestation Length and Birthweight, a lower number is more desirable indicating a shorter gestation/ lower birth weight. For all other traits a higher number is more desirable. New this year, we have included a Docility EPD for all bulls. Docility has proven to be a highly inheritable trait, so a bull with a high docility number can quickly make a difference in the temperament of your herd.
