Suhn Cattle Co., as well as the GENETRUST partners and our
cooperators, welcome you to our sale the 28
th
of March and to
what we appraise as the most genetically sound and industry
acceptable offering that we have ever presented to the public.
Not a day goes by that I do not see, either in a publication or
over the internet, an article regarding the down turn of the
cattle market and how to adjust expenses to offset the lack of
revenue that benefited all of our operations so dramatically just
a few years ago. No doubt we do need to focus on expenses;
however, the other side of the coin needs to be a examined as
to what we can do to increase revenue. Genetically, what can
you modify in your operation to create more revenue through
the use of genetics that will yield you a higher percentage
calf crop with more total pounds of product sold or taken a
step further creating the genetics that will enable you to take
advantage of extra profits through the feeding stage? Proper
bull selection and, in most applications, the implementation
of a well-structured and thought out crossbreeding program
can be an added benefit to the production of more pounds and
future replacement heifers with added fertility and the ability
to raise more pounds.
What sets us apart and why we have the Bos
Indicus influenced genetics that can help drive
more revenue to your operation.
IT STARTS AT CONCEPTION:
We offer our customer progeny
that are predominately sired by the most elite bull battery in
the breed. There is a reason that 6 of the 10 most used sires
in the breed are GENETRUST bred or owned. Additionally,
this offering will allow you the opportunity to purchase more
sons than anywhere else of the most popular and respected
sire in the breed--Three D. As an added bonus the females
that produced them are the most respected donors and most
productive cow families available. The Ultrablack genetics also
reflects the use of AI sires selected for traits that they excel in
and will benefit the Brangus breed’s future.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION:
We still feel that it is important
to validate progeny records with weights and measures in
well-defined contemporary groups that will assist in more
accurately identifying superior lines and be of benefit in
producing EPDs that accurately identify that animal’s genetic
strengths and weaknesses. Birth weights are taken by a scale,
the proven most accurate method, and not from visual
appraisal or a hoof tape measurement. All cattle are weighed
at weaning and yearling and not just a select few; plus, all bulls
and females are measured for carcass traits using ultrasound
evaluation for REA, IMF, and BF. Following those evaluations
all cattle are appraised and culled for structural problems,
disposition, and scrotal size.
