• His first calf dam will be heard from for years to come, she was ADG 4.0 purchased with this bull in tow. She is a descendent of the great Cara cow family. • While his pedigree may indicate the usefulness of this 3/8 Sim bull on heifers – his stoutness and actual performance give us hesitation on that recommendation. • Flawless build and tremendous thickness, these Chi and Sim genetics flat out work. His 127 YW EPD is 2nd highest of all registered Chi bulls born in 2014!

GENETIC TRENDS & BREED AVG. EPDS
This chart indicates the genetic trend of the Melroe Farms females by birth year. What is unique is the trend toward lower birthweights, significantly higher growth, and most importantly maintaining our percent Chi. These genetic improvements were accomplished with Chianina genetics, not inflated numbers that are associated with the dilution of the Continental blood.
