He had a birth weight of 95 lbs and is a combination of the best genetics we could possibly offer coming from both sides of his pedigree. His sire is the reigning National Champion Bull and has produced calves that are heads and tails better than any other bull we have used to date for performance, thickness and temperament. His dam, Ultra, also came to us from Crystal Farms and she has been one of our top performing cows. Ultra was included in our flush program this past June and produced 18 Grade 1 embryos in one flush which shows her excellent fertility, and she has already bred back to Youngblood for her 2015 calf. Aladdin was shown as a bull calf at the National in 2013 and claimed Reserve Bull Calf Champion at only 6 months of age. We used him on a small group of heifers and cows this summer and he has proven to be a keen breeder. Don’t miss this chance if you are looking for a new polled fullblood herd sire.

His full brother was shown in 2013 taking Grand Champion Bull at both Orno and Warkworth Fair, and Bruno hopes to do this same in 2014.

She has produced the top gaining bull on test for the last three years from a different sire. This year she has another different sire offspring (Arsha’s Polled Trooper 67T). I put my money on Nancy that she once again has produced the top gaining bull. Crystal Blade has the muscling pattern that definitely the blonde breeders are looking for as well as the feedlots. With the premiums you will get from this guy’s offspring. Blade’s nickname could become “mortgage lifter”. Blade is a very docile bull which as we know is passed on down the line. Epd’s will be available by sale time.

Summer has done a very good job for us so far and has a dynamite Youngblood heifer calf this year. Annabell’s sire Arsha’s Polled Umpire needs no introduction. He has consistently produced good heifers and bulls that have done well in the shows, sales and in the pasture. Annabell is halter broke. She was observed bred to Little Creek Aladdin 11A on May 10 and has been pasture exposed to Aladdin from May 15- sale day.

EPD’s: There’s some females that do not like the cold. Harkdale Judy 57N is one of those girls wanting to calve in April. April calves require a little different management; which we are not set up for. Crystal Belle is a full sister to Crystal Amanda 35A we sold to Ian Kruis at the Cream of the Crop Sale last year. But this one is polled. Judy is one of the top milking cows in my herd; which is probably why she calves in April. Epd’s will be available by sale time.

Here is a definite heifer for the keeper pen! This year we had many heifers born off of our Crystal Wilmer bull. We decided we would pick out one of the polled heifers for this year’s National Sale. Ballerina is a very easy keeping; well put together calf that is out of a first calf heifer. Ballerina’s mom has done her job very well; we sold Georgina to Ashley McNevan and Tyler Sutcliffe. Wilmer has been the best investment we have made as a breeding operation to date, he produced good footed, easy calving, phenotypically correct calves that were mainly polled. Out of 50+ calves born to Wilmer, only 3 had horns. Ballerina is entered in the show on Sunday but if the buyer wishes to take her home prior to the show they are welcome to. If they choose to let her stay for the show; transportation is the responsibility of the buyer.
