A BIG DIFFERENCE

Heatwave is turning out to be one of the most consistent sires we have used. Another descendant of the great Duty Free, it comes as no surprise the performance reigns in the top of his resume with a top 2% EPD for WW, top 10% for YW verified as well by our own 205 index of 110% and 108% on 365 day. But even more impressive is how his calves tested on feed trial. Of the 8 sons selling in this year’s sale, they topped the average of the sire groups in the pen with a gain of 4.18 and with only 1 of the sons, testing below 4 lbs per day. You can pick them out in the pen for their consistent type. PA Free.

We have been fortunate enough to acquire some progeny off of this 2018 Farmfair Players Club $50,000 jackpot winner through genetics and semen acquired from Mike Panasiuk/Springside Farms. This sire holds a top 10% or better EPD in what we consider the “big 5” of CE, BW, YW, WW and Marb. More impressive is his offspring. Undoubtably, 2 of the favorite calves in the yearling pen are a direct son and grandson, and since birth, they exemplified natural muscle expression.
