FALL BRED HEIFERS
AI to Connealy Counselor on 11-17-12. Pasture exposed to Connealy Direct Deposit
from 12-1-12 on. Ultrasound safe to Counselor, due approximately August 26, 2013.
Four flush sisters were born in the fall of 2011. Two are being retained as
replacements, and lots 181-182 sell as features. Full brothers to these heifers sell
as lots 86-90. Another full brother that was the #1 adjusted weaning weight and #1
adjusted yearling weight bull among the fall 2011 ET bull calves has been retained
as a herd sire.
K404 is a very nice heifer that is super calm. We have noticed she is one of the
quietest heifers in the entire group on multiple occasions working the fall heifers.
K404 has the EPD excellence combined from her parents, and the style and grace
of her mother.
Donor dam C265 is a powerful cow that makes a person say “Wow!”. She is a very
beautiful cow loaded with meat and muscle. Stout built and structurally correct, she
has a lot of volume and fleshing ability that makes her a favorite. See the candid shot
of C265 that is the cover to our Facebook page to the right.
C265 is not only a Pathfinder with a superior record, but a cow whose progeny have
gone above and beyond expectations. Her first two sons to come to auction were
both photo features. Dan Olson sends good reports on the C265 son he selected.
Pathfinder grandam 9104 ended her career with 10-102 WR.
Sire Connealy Hemisphere is a bull we attempted to buy, but after we were
unsuccessful, decided to use him AI. He was a powerful bull, and by far the most
attractive, sound, eye appealing 5050 son we have ever seen.
9 Pathfinders are found in this pedigree!

One of my favorite fall heifers! She is feminine, stylish, powerful, and has a great
set of EPDs. She will make a beautiful cow like her mother! Gridiron daughters are
unique because they are feminine and pretty fronted, yet have great shape, muscle,
and more than average bone.
K411 has the biggest ribeye scan of the fall heifers selling today! She also has the
3
rd
biggest Ribeye EPD among the fall heifers!
See footnote under lot 181.
