$52,000 SELECTION OF GENESIS RANCH IN MARCH 2022 AT SUHN CATTLE CO.

One of the great buying opportunities of the 2023 calendar year, and a chance to tap into arguably the most influential genetic base over the last 20 years comes in the form of a pick of the entire spring, 2022 born heifer crop from Chimney Rock Cattle Company. Notable in its success well enough on its own, Chimney Rock has contributed countless herd sires and donor dams to the breed since Bill and Gail Davis’ entrance into the breed, however this pick also includes an opportunity to select from the two high profile acquisitions the Davis’ made in 2022 in the Suhn and Vorel programs. All in, the winning bidder has the opportunity to essentially get the pick of 3 renowned genetic bases with one purchase!

The list of herd sires produced from the genetic base within could fill this entire catalog, and can be seen in pedigrees throughout this catalog but include the likes of Affirmed, Alydar, Next Step, Guardian, North Star, Landau, Online, Foundation, Trail Boss, Beacon, Business Line, Epic, Signal, Currency, Abstract and Blueprint among others, not to mention headliners that sold in 2022 in the $52,000 Spectrum, $56,000 Alliance, $62,000 Pathway and $72,000 Triple Crown among many others! The real key to success behind these leading herd sires is undoubtedly the cow power it took to produce them, and that is what is before you today. Cow families like the 2’s, 25’s, 30’s, 40’s, 53’s, 331’s, 415’s, 416’s, 468’s, 535’s, 894’s, 918’s and 919’s are staples in the breed and much of their heritage and success lies from within this genetic population.

The pick of the calf crop being offered is the best of the best, with a diverse and proven pedigree base. Sires of the heifers being offered include but are not limited to Abstract, Big Lake, Big Town, Blueprint, Business Line, Countertop, Currency, Empower, Intrigue, Masterpiece, Oracle, Perfect Fit, Signal, Surge, Synergy, Trail Boss and Wrangler and include all ET, AI sired and Natural Service heifers that were born from 1/1/2022 through 5/1/2022. All heifers will have been ultrasounded, pelvic measured and repro tract scored at the time of selection. The buyer has the option to select 1 heifer from over 100 head in the crop, making their selection by 5/1/2023, AND at the buyer’s option can leave the heifer at Chimney Rock to be AI’d to the bull of their choosing and cleaned up by the CRC bull battery with the intention of picking up the heifer once she is confirmed bred, prior to Labor Day. Note - the CRC crew will begin breeding on these heifers in early April so if the buyer would like to select the bull their heifer is bred to the selection would need to be made prior to synchronization.

This tremendous opportunity can propel any new or established program to the next level of breed leading greatness through a program built on and immersed in the perfect balance of phenotype and data. Don’t miss what lies within this unique opportunity.
