BRED HEIFERS
Majority are home raised, while some were
purchased as weaned calves from a single

few BWF. The heifers were synchronized with
the Show-Me Sync program and AI bred
on 4/28/12 and 4/29/12. Service sires were
SydGen Mandate and Trust. The heifers were
cleaned up with SydGen Prime Star 0623

from 5/12/12 to 6/18/12. These
heifers have been ultrasounded for pregnancy.
Heifers are due from 2/7/13 to 3/30/13 and

Larry and Josh, a father-son team, have been
in the cattle business most of their lives. The
Wittes have been raising their own replace-
ment heifers for years and decided to bring
their quality cattle to the market. Combined,
