Wow it seems like we were just calving now its almost time to deliver bulls to various bull test and bull development programs. We were planning to send six to the Florida Bull Test this year but had one that we thought was an ET calf turn out to be a commercial calf when the DNA came back. Not what I wanted to hear but he is going to make a really nice steer. So the five we are sending to the Florida Bull Test are:
Gizmo Resource C18 956 1441 https://www.angus.org/Animal/EpdPed...PVKz0mjiy9NpnxPCcJL61DzVF0MmZnDM6JtQUBXmp3w== This calf is out of one of my favorite cows, I sure hope he does well BW 76 Adj. Wean 599
Giz Consensus C27 1306 7229 https://www.angus.org/Animal/EpdPed...kFHSFklG/0dWKlUso2k/lXUP2LnFCZ9uNjYBYiTFmjQ== BW 74 Adj Wean 666 This calf is out of a first calf heifer that sure did a good job on her first one. She also bred back AI so she is on her way to making a cow.
Gizmo Consensus C35 811 7229 https://www.angus.org/Animal/EpdPed...Bpp1wwc/hlkLQeJv+kpe5g0+Iq4oqSlSB6hiXlBWOEg== BW 76 Adj. Wean 682 The 811 cow made Pathfinder on her third calf her dam 525 is also a Pathfinder so a really good cow family behind this young bull.
Gizmo EXT C39 0524 6149 We are waiting on DNA on the cow to come back, oops. I swear I thought I had pulled the DNA on this cow we flushed her to our 6149 bull the good news is that the calf qualified to the sire so I know it is an ET calf but now have to get the DNA back on the cow to finish up the registration process. BW 98 Adj. Wean 742
Gizmo Rito C57 409 9R9 https://www.angus.org/Animal/EpdPed...inlhguMx5E6jDBID7mSWO8iLjwLu4BSpeCfv4M9xVFQ== BW 88 Adj. Wean 735 The dam of this bull is getting some age on her but she is still doing a great job. She is a Pathfinder, that was orphaned at 4 months and still managed to breed with the rest of the heifers has never missed a calf and made Pathfinder in the process. The kind of cow that makes an operation profitable.
We are sending four to the North Alabama Bull Evaluation. This will be the first time we have sent cattle to this test so it will be a bit of a learning curve for us. We are also sending five to the Southeast Excellence Bull Development so we are going to busy delivering for the next few weeks. I was going to post info on the other calves but I can only post 6 urls.
