With the release of 2015 Fall EPDs, a new data point has been added - AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI). The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combining Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) - BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT - into one single value on which to base selection decisions. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on the three year rolling USDA database. The TSI represents a dollar index per terminal progeny produced for a bull in the AICA database, ranking them for profit potential. This dollar index is to be interpreted much like a single trait EPD. For example, if Sire A’s index is $191.66 and Sire B’s index is $200, then we would expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return ($200 minus $191.66) than Sire A’s offspring.

We believe that our after the sale warranty is one of the best in the industry. You have a problem, any problem with our bulls, we are there for you. We are not happy until you are happy. Bulls we offer at our sale are “The Cream Of the Crop”. This is not a sale where the top bulls have been sold off and you get the left overs. We have a long and proven track record of satisfied customers. We have taken the gamble out of herd sire selection. It’s important to us that we sell bulls in everyone’s price range. As you are aware herd bulls represent at least half of the genetic input of the calves you sell later. That percentage goes up if you decide to save replacement females. Stated in current market reports there can be a $.30 per pound spread in the #1’s vs. #2’s and #3’s of the same weight. No matter what the market is, you always get paid more for high quality calves. Now more than ever is the time to buy the best bull you can.

BREEDING GUARANTEE: These virgin bulls are semen tested and scrotal measurements taken. Plus the bulls will be BVD and Trichomoniasis tested.  Simply put, your cows complete satisfaction and herd health is our goal
