Breeding Season Continues

SAV Final Answer 0035

We are now starting to breed some cows to purebred angus bulls today. We are also continuing to use our club calf bulls as well.

The purebred sires in use are the Genex bulls, SAV Bismarck 5682, SAV Final Answer 0035, and SAV Net Worth 4200. Final Answer is being used on our club calf heifers, while Bismarck and Net Worth are being used on the purebred females.

We are continuing to use Boardwalk, Highliner, Mercedes Benz, and Monopoly as our club calf sires. We have finished breeding with Ali and Eye Candy for this year.
