DID YOU KNOW?

• Reproduction is the most important factor affecting profitability

• Reproduction is 5X more important than growth rate, and 1OX more important than carcass quality when it comes to profit.

• Body Condition has the greatest impact on reproduction. ("Edie Creek bulls will sire Easier Fleshing Cows that can hold Body Condition.”)

• Thin cows are only half as productive as those in optimum condition

• Every missed breeding cycle represents a 42 lb loss in weaning weight.

Edie Creek Big

Lots 49 and 50 are very similarly bred. 661 is a refined, feminine Shoshone Solomon 316 daughter with an excellent udder. These bulls are quite consistent, so it’s tough to describe the differences between them after a while!

DAM OF LOT 49 MH FRANCIS 661

Heifer Bull. Not Registered. OCC X Shoshone is a great combination of genetics. The udder quality on 639 leaves some things to be desired, however we’ve never had to help her calves latch-on & Big Time will improve the udder structure. A very nice bull to close off this year’s sale.
