There is tons of profit potential in this long made bull. You have a myriad of breeding options with his 50/50 British/Continental makeup. He can be put on a 75% Continental herd to improve quality grade
and lower maintenance inputs. He can also be bred to English based females to improve growth and yield grad without negatively affecting fleshing ability or mature size.

Here comes a carcass improver. If you market your cattle on the grid that rewards red meat, I would suggest taking this guy home. He scores a 105 REA ratio and goes on to post EPDs that rank in the top
2%
YG, 13% CW, 4% REA, and 1% FAT. If you market your cattle by the pound, he can help you out there as well with EPDs that rank in the top 13% WW and 26% YW.

Look at the length and muscle in this stud. If you need some punch added to your next calf crop his ¾ Simmental makeup can do it. Notice though that he adds this tremendous growth without adding exces-
sive birth weight with his 11.6 CED. If you market on the grid he can certainly add profit to your next crop with his top 20% TI.

Here comes another F1 prospect that offers your outfit a huge advantage if you market your cattle on a carcass grid. This long made bull’s 72 Terminal Index ranks in the top 20% percent of the breed, so ex-
pect big dividends from carcass premiums. Use these hybrid bulls to add both size and scale to your next calf crop.

Take a look at this purebred herd bull prospect that offers a ton of scope and dimenstion. Imagine the performance and profitability he could put into a set of straight bred Angus females.
