FALL BRED HEIFERS
★
★
AI to Hoover Dam on 11-22-12. Pasture exposed to Connealy Direct Deposit from
12-6-12 on. Ultrasound safe to Hoover Dam, due approximately August 31, 2013.
★
★
The #1 IMF scanning fall heifer! She not only offers high marbling, but a well-
rounded set of EPDs!
★
★
Pathfinder dam A652 is still going strong at 10 years of age with a 363 day calving
interval! Wish all cows were as productive and as fertile as A652!
★
★
A daughter of A652 sold to Canada to Craigmore Farm. Craigmore featured this
female in their sale about 6 months later and over doubled the money they paid for
her! They were very pleased with their Hoover females. Butch Miller and Mark Holt
have selected A652’s other progeny.
★
★
A652 was one of the top performing females of her crop with a 731 lb. weaning
weight, ratio 121, YW 1005 lbs., YR 111.

K432 is a long bodied, low birth weight, big spread heifer from a proven, low birth
weight cow family. Add CC&7 and Friction in her pedigree, and you have extremely
high Docility!
★
★
Dam was a first calf heifer that had nice performance data and superior scan data.
BW 60 lbs., WW 660 lbs., WR 101, YW 921 lbs., YR 100, IMF 7.09, ratio 159, ribeye
12.3”, ratio 114. She was the #1 high scanning IMF heifer of her crop!
★
★
Read about Pathfinder grandam A521 in the footnote of lot 186.
★
★
Look at the tremendous projected EPDs on K432’s first calf! Instead of breeding
many of these heifers AI to Direct Deposit, we decided to do it the easy way and
let the bull breed them instead. Direct Deposit will certainly be a bull to expect big
things from.
★
★
K432 ties as the 2
nd
high Docility EPD female to sell!

An easy fleshing Journey heifer with some big time growth EPDs! She also had the
4
th
biggest ribeye scan among the fall heifers selling!
★
★
Journey daughters are some of the high growth females in the herd, and this gal is
no exception.
★
★
Dam F14’s first daughter has been retained in the herd. This heifer was the #1 WW
and #1 YW heifer of her crop! F14’s first son sold for $6250 to long-time repeat
customer Mark Lents. He was the 8
th
top weaning weight bull of his crop.
★

Dam F14 had exemplary performance data: BW 67 lbs., WW 700 lbs., WR 112, YW
935 lbs., YR 103. She was the 12
th
top weaning weight heifer of her crop. Her 12.0”
ribeye scan earned her a Ribeye EPD above the top 1% of the breed and was the
2
nd
highest of her crop!
★
★
Pathfinder grandam T15 is no longer with us, but recorded 10-96 BWR and 10-110
WR. Her 8 natural sons grossed $51,750 to average $6469! 5 of these bulls were
photo features in our sales.The calf she raised at 11 years of age was the #1 weaning
weight bull calf of the crop at 829 pounds, and our top-selling bull in 2010 at $14,000.
★
★
Fourth generation dam C57 has been extremely influential in the Hoover program.
C57 and her daughter descendants have produced nearly a quarter million dollars in
registered progeny sold through recent production sales! 9 Pathfinders and 6 donors
stem from this female. The heritage behind K484 is tremendous!
★
★
K484 ties as the #1 WW EPD female to sell! She has the 4
th
highest YW EPD and
ties as the #1 Ribeye EPD fall heifer!
