He is currently 1 of only 3 proven (accuracy >= 0.5) bulls in the last 10 years to have and WW EPD over 70 and YW EPD over 120. He compliments our high percent cattle by being a ½ frame score bigger with a longer muscle pattern and, like his pedigree reads, exceptional eye appeal.

Patriot: This group of Patriots are the youngest group of bulls as he ran with a small set of cows and cleaned up some AI’d cows. We loved this bulls build and shape and feel like he has passed this on. With the very limited amount of Ace influence we have, and considering the exceptional Email daughter he stems from we thought he was a good fit.

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.
