Red purebred Gelbvieh bull that we scrounged out of Daves’ semen tank. As we were going through some of the 1k’s of straws of semen one day, I asked Dave if there was any red bulls in the tank worth using. He smiled and said, “Oh ya, if you want to breed some red, you might outta try this one out. He said it made some of the best Red Gelbvieh cows he ever owned.” We plugged it in some and by golly he was right!!! Bulls have loads of power and females look amazing!!!

Herd Bull!!! Here is a ½ blood Red Gelbvieh that is hard to pass by. He has been a standout from day 1 and is the product of a performance driven cow family by a herd sire that was a must use according to Dave Lensegrav. When someone like Dave gives you advice on breeding cattle, you make sure it gets applied.

69B has been one of our favorite cows that we got when we bought into Dave’s herd. She is a striking model Gelbvieh cross cow that really just does everything right!! Great feet, great udder, perfect sized female that never misses. AIed back once again with her 8th calf. Her dam, 7Z, was the exact same way. Hard to go wrong with proven, predictable genetics!!

Fall Bulls- We continue to grow our fall program from the original cows from Dave’s herd. We are excited to grow this fall program, breeding our first set of heifers and slowly growing this herd solely based on quality. We are venturing into some embryo transplant work this coming fall so we can get some genetics from spring herd without actually moving cows to fall. We think these age advantage bulls are able to get out and breed more cows that first year and never really have to be pushed on feed. These bulls were weaned mid-March, turned out on grass in May, and starting the first of October we put them on a high roughage ration, projecting 2.5# gain per day. All of these fall bulls are sired by the Len Scout bull. Like I said previously in the yearling’s section, these Scouts are just right for combination of power and maternal and the daughters are appearing to be some of the best we have ever raised.

What a great opportunity to take advantage of this long-aged herd sire!!! Get him out, let him cover 30-35 cows, and reap the benefits. His dam is a stunning cow that had proven herself long before she got to our place. I saw no reason to not take advantage of utilizing the product that had been perfected for over 5 decades!! Same proven genetics, 6 months older, and developed as slowly as possible to ensure longevity and soundness.
