Pistol Ridge Charolais: Breeder of the 2006 MS State winning bull, home of the grass fed, liquor bred 4B bulls: BELLY, BONE, BALLS, & BUTT. Pistol Ridge is a small rural community, located in south Forrest Co., MS well known for the production of Moonshine Whiskey back in the day, hence the liquor reference. We started this venture by purchasing 7 heifer calves and a bull calf, the we purchased 25 bred heifers. The plan was to build as big a frame as possible and breed to full French bulls, to put the meat on that big frame. When the calving season came that fall, the calves were huge-105 lbs. plus. Rough on first calvers, the first calf had to be pulled -128 lbs. and dead, second calf -122 lbs., lost cow and calf. This caused us to develop a new policy in 2004. We started an AI program to bring frame size down and produce better cattle. We replaced the big cattle with a moderate framed offspring and improved performance. Later we purchased half interest in four donors. Their breeding was Eaton, Alimark, Debruckers, Buds My Dad, Wyoming Wind, Caroline, LCBusiness Bloodlines. We began an ET program using the older cows as recips. We synchronize and AI breed in late December carefully selecting bulls best suited to each cow. When calves are born, they are weighed and tagged with bull & cow ID’s, DOB, & herd number. Birth weights as low as 52 pounds, males over 90 pounds are banded. Thirty days prior to weaning, calves get tattoos, wormed, and started on a vaccination program. At weaning, cows and calves are weighed, calves complete vaccination program and are placed on feed for 60 days. After that, they are on grass for the rest of their life. Average weaning weights are at 650 lbs.

The Rockhill Ranch is located in Purvis, Ms. and is owned by Rickey and Gay Nicholas. We have been in the registered cattle business since 1997 and have consigned to the CPP sale for the past 7 years. We originally started our registered herd with Black Angus and have since added Simmental, SimAngus and Simbrah breeds. We are actively cross breeding to obtain the optimal beef bulls and heifers that will work well in the hot and humid southern climate and still have excellent carcass traits. We are a small herd and therefore must use AI technology along with our Simmental and Simbrah herd sires to obtain these goals. We also use ultrasound data, as well as an Igenity® profile for carcass trait evaluation. We are extremely proud that two of the Rockhill Ranch SimAngus bulls shown by Joseph and Michael Windham won Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion in the 2011 Dixie National Junior Show. These two young men did an outstanding job in developing and showing the bulls. We thank you for your support of the CPP sale and ask that you contact any of the consigners should you have questions or have a need that we might help you with.

At Rocky Hollow Farm, we have focused our program on raising quality purebred Simmentals. We purchased our first Simmental 19 years ago and have been extremely satisfied with the performance and disposition of the breed. We raise and market purebred and percentage replacement heifers and purebred Simmental and SimAngus bulls. Our herd program targets commercial cattlemen by providing bulls and heifers that have calving ease, fleshing ability, good dispositions and affordable to purchase. We use artificial insemination on 90% of the cows. This method of breeding allows us to use bulls that are proven sires and trait leaders. We have concentrated on traits that we know commercial cattlemen consider important to their bottom line. Calving ease, to make sure you get a live calf without problems. Weaning weights, to give you those extra pounds on the scale at sale time. Disposition, because no one wants to deal with crazy cows and bulls. Our herd has been certified brucellosis free and our health program includes weighing, vaccinating and worming each calf on a set schedule. There are several reasons we have joined Carcass Performance Partners to market bulls. We are a family farm and we wanted to consolidate marketing efforts with others to build a solid strategy for selling our best animals. We believe that you should stand behind the product you sell. It should meet or exceed the standards that the seller has represented. We believe that the past buyers of our bulls that have been marketed with Carcass Performance Partners have been satisfied, and that is why we have numerous repeat customers. We also believe in the minimum bid. We do not want any buyers to think that they have been “run” during a sale. We have found that honest and ethical selling practices will make a difference, not only for the buyers but also for our peace of mind.

The Smith Family

Mark, Debbie, Alan, Jessica & Sara Catherine Triple S Farms originally started in 1954 as a dairy farm with 9 dairy cows by my parents Ezra and Charline Smith. We sold our 200 herd of Jerseys in 1988 and started a beef herd. In selecting a breed , we looked at Angus, Beefmaster, Brangus, Simmental & Simbrah. In our opinion, the Simmental breed had everything we wanted , plus open AI (no AI certificate fees). More AI sired cattle were readily available to purchase in local sales. The Simbrah were adaptive to our climate, heat tolerant and with Simmental maternal influence, it was a no-brainer to have Simgenetics. In 1989 like everyone else there were more red and white ones than black, but our customers demanded black bulls, so it was easy to make them black through our choices of AI sires. Since the beginning our management must include feed efficiency. The grass in our area is being gobbled up by subdivisions, so feed efficiency is very important. The demand for our Simbrah and Simmental genetics has been great. Calving ease, maternal carcass quality, disposition, and fertility have been and continue to be the driving force in our sire selection and what we are offering this year. Triple S today is Mark, Debbie, Alan, & Jessica and soon to be Sara Catherine, Alan’s fiancé. Alan is at MS State working toward a Vet degree. Jessica is a Junior in high school and Sara Catherine is attending William Carey working on a nursing degree. The kids show the prettiest calves through 4-H and FFA. We sell the best and keep the rest to continue our cow families. Scarlet, Victoria, Pocahontas, Oreo, and Summer all have left their footprint in ours and our customers programs. Our bulls SSS Elijah 324P is a legend in Mississippi. SSS Peyton 395T and FB Ressurection are his best sons to date. They are starting to make a name for themselves. BBS Topcut U203 is our answer to the demand for growth in our Simmental cattle. That’s why we say family is important in cows and kids! We sell show heifers and herd bulls that are as good as you can find. Many folks think you have to go out West or North to get the best, but at Triple S, we’ve been breeding to the best for 20+ years, up to 5 generations. All the genetics in a cow family are superior-as is the sires we use. We invite you to put all this knowledge, effort, and dedication to work for you in your operation and buy from Triple S Farms!

The Secret of “Fat Bulls” Do buyers really want to buy fat, lazy bulls? How does fat make a bull better? Fat bulls do look thicker (with a half inch of fat covering you would look thicker too) and their weights are more impressive (fat can easily add 100-200 pounds of weight but it does not represent growth or muscle). Putting fat on bulls is like spray-painting over rust, they look better but it doesn’t change what’s underneath. A bull’s looks are important to help determine type, kind and structure. Is the bull structurally correct? Does he walk on a big sound foot with a long smooth stride? Is he tall and narrow or moderate and thick with muscle? What’s his disposition like? These are very important pieces of information you must look for beyond the genetic descriptions given from EPD’s. How a bull looks and moves is important but none of these traits have anything to do with excess fat. Fat bulls have been conditioned to sell better not work better. It’s hard to move, breeding takes more effort and bulls tire easier because they are not conditioned and developed to chase cows, cover pastures and work for a living. Being physically conditioned has clear cut advantages for preforming in your pastures. Pick your bulls like you were fielding a NFL Player, not a Pie Eating contest winner!
