K470 tied as the 6
th
top weaning weight bull of his crop at nearly 800 pounds out of a
first calf heifer! He is one of the biggest “spread” bulls of the auction with a BW EPD
in the best 25% of the breed to a YW EPD above the top 1%!
★
★
K470 is one of my favorite Excitement sons of the crop. He has lots of rib and
capacity, muscle shape, and length of body.
★
★
Dam H479 weaned at 720 lbs., WR 110, YW 1014 lbs., YR 110. She was the 7
th
top
weaning weight heifer of her crop and the 2
nd
high yearling weight heifer!
★
★
Grandam F492 has a perfect record, and with a calving interval of 352 days, looks
like she could be marching toward Pathfinder status in the February 2013 report.
Her second daughter was the #1 WW and #1 YW heifer of her crop. She has been
retained as a replacement.
★
★
Easily suited for heifers. This pedigree has no Gridiron or Neutron. K470 ties as
the top YW EPD bull selling! He also ties as the 3
rd
high WW EPD! For customers
feeding out their calves, his $F (Feedlot Value) is above the top 1% of the breed.

A little bit different pedigree here in this powerful Journey son. He is big butted, deep
ribbed, and has some shape and guts.
★
★
Dam E404 maintains a superb 349 day calving interval. Her first daughter in the herd
is doing a fine job.
★
★
Pathfinder grandamA652 produced a daughter selling to Craigmore Farm in Ontario.
Craigmore featured this female in their Canadian sale about 6 months later and over
doubled the money they paid for her!
★
★
A652’s latest daughter was the #1 IMF scanning heifer of her crop. A652 maintains
a 363 day calving interval on 8 progeny.
★
★
Following suit of his sire, K482 is one of the top $Beef bulls of the auction.
Recommended for heifers or cows. He is also one of the top WW and YW EPD fall
bulls to sell.

K491 is a deep ribbed bull with some shape, hip, and guts. He is a huge scrotal bull,
very common of the Journey sons! He has the 2
nd
biggest Scrotal EPD among all
animals selling! Studies have shown scrotal size is important for daughters’ fertility.
★
★
Dam is a moderate framed, easy fleshing female with a nice udder. She is easy to
work with at calving time. Daughters have been selected by Mark Grossman and
Craigmore Farm.
★
★
Grandam Z156 produced until 19 years of age and was David’s favorite cow. She
was a tiny cow that always weaned a huge percentage of her body weight. She
ended her career with 14-95 BWR, 14-107 WR, and a 360 day calving interval (her
first progeny were not recorded in Doc Shinkle’s herd).Two daughters have achieved
Pathfinder status.
★

Recommended for use on cows.

K492 is younger, but certainly a powerful bull! He caught my attention the other day,
and when I looked him up, I discovered he was the 2
nd
high weaning weight bull and
#1 yearling weight bull of the crop! He is a complete bull that is plenty deep, long,
and slick haired.
★
★
Dam was a first calf heifer. She is a very nice uddered female. H409 was the 10
th
heaviest weaning weight heifer of her crop at 712 pounds!
★
★
Grandam was lost way before her time, but she recorded 6-98 BWR, 6-107 WR, and
6-103 YR. One son was a photo feature bull.
★
★
Pathfinder great grandam V71 was one of our all-time favorites. She recorded 6-111
WR and produced four featured bull calves, two of which were lead-off bulls in past
production sales.
★
★
Fourth generation dam L759 was a legend. She recorded 14-109 WR and was one
of the very few females in our herd to produce both a Pathfinder son and daughter.
★
★
Recommended for heifers or cows.
