Marksman 4P13
A very unique animal, Marksman combines rare genomics with a proven, maternal dam that never misses!
“He is an impressive specimen”. Those were Chris Earl’s words when he saw Marksman. He is a long spined bull that is big ribbed and soft middled. He has true skeletal width and muscle and yet is angular in his front third and gets out and moves on a long stride. He is a good footed bull that comes from a beautiful 9 year old Soo Line Motive dam that just never misses. She has a WR of 6/104 and a YR of 4/106. She is a feminine fronted female with good foot structure and a beautiful udder. Marksman combines a rare set of numbers with exceptional phenotype and a productive dam into one package.

Here is a pair of flush brothers from the legendary Baldridge Isabel F047. She is a female that needs no introduction. There is a royal pedigree here combining the famous Isabel cow line with other greats like Poss Blueblood 6502, the dam of Poss Rawhide. These two brothers have extra length and style along with a set of numbers that is truly impressive. Mission has been a standout since birth with his extra bone and presence as a young calf. 4P49 has extra length and performance and crushed the scales with a weaning wieght of 763 earning him a ratio of 113. They are sired by Poss Ratified who has been gaining attention across the nation for his ability to transmit muscle, style, and calving ease.

You can easily pick him out in the pen because of his unique look as the kind of bull that could get along anywhere. He is a bull with extra width, mass, and fleshing ability in a moderate framed package. His Upfront dam has been outstanding here. She is ultra-feminine fronted with great feet and a nice udder.

This is a super thick topped, wide based son of Headstart. He is quite easy to find in the pen because of his massive muscle expression. His Commando dam has been outstanding.
This is a great Deadwood son out of a highly productive Commodore dam that has a WR of 1/122! She produced last year’s Lot 1 bull that was a phenotypic treasure. This guy is not only good phenotypically, but his genomics are off the chart with a 414 $C.
This Deadwood son is maybe just a little different kind than what you get used to seeing from that sire. He is a more moderate framed bull that still maintains his width and dimension from behind. He is out of a good, young Wall Street dam.

PAR Lady Est 546-Upfront-715. The donor dam of Lots 16-19.
I can’t say enough good things about these flush brothers. Their dam “715” is absolutely one of my favorite cows on the ranch. She is phenotypically about as good as you can make one. She is super feminine fronted with a smooth shoulder that works back into a big rib, deep flank and level hip. She is sound made and has a picture perfect udder. She earned her spot in the donor pen the hard way by out-producing her herd mates. This flush with Deadwood gave her progeny a shot of added performance and carcass merit which is evident in their data. They are a high performing bunch that exhibit style, mass and muscle along with structural soundness. They are a fun bunch to look through in the pen.

This set of flush brothers are 3/4 brothers to Lots 16-19. My favorite “715” cow would be their granddam. “915”, the dam of this flush is a massive bodied, broody cow and her progeny tend to really push the scales down. These brothers are impressive to look through and there are some outstanding genetic prospects here.

This Deadwood son is just pure pounds and performance. He was born light, but really started growing earning a 124 Weaning Ratio. His Treasure dam is a very promising young cow from that same Lady Eston line that I like so much.

Birth Weight and Calving Ease
University Studies in Wyoming and data from Montana and Colorado lend credence to the following conclusions:
1.The birth weight itself influences calving ease by 65%.
2.The female has 60-70% influence on the birth weight of her calf.
3.The bull has 30-40% influence on the birth weight of his progeny.
4.Pelvic measurement and angle as well as the shape of the calf have 35-40% influence on calving ease.
5.Length of gestation greatly affects birth weight. A fetus can gain over one pound per day in the last days of gestation.
6.Weather and temperature the last 30 days affect the length of gestation.
7.Size and maturity of the cow influence calving ease.
Most commercial producers do not take birth weights. Guessing is as accurate as driving without a speedometer - what’s thought to be 55mph may in fact be 65 or 70mph, and what’s thought to be 70-80 lbs may actually be 80-90 lbs. Remember, everything is relevant. Increased growth, frame and performance will increase birth weights. A longer-bodied calf will weigh more. If a calf is expected to have genetics for growth, it will display this prior to birth as well as after. As a rule of thumb, it takes a calf weighing 85 lbs at birth to finish at 1200-1250 lbs. A cow should easily give birth to a calf weighing 8% of her own body weight. Thus a 1200 lb cow should give birth to a 96 lb calf with ease!
Continued selection for light birth weights will ultimately reduce the mature sizes and performance of your cattle!
