Welcome to Our 52nd Annual Bull & Female Sale
This year we are making available to you a tool that we have been testing for the
past six years. We hope it will be as helpful to you as it has been to us in our bull
selection. We have found that it can make an improvement in breeding stock selec-
tion for a cow herd. The performance picture of the average cow in your herd is
reflective of the bull and replacement heifer selections you have been making.
With this method it is easier to find the strengths one needs to balance out a breeding
program. This certainly is not the only tool to use, but it is an important one. The
use of this tool has made improvement in our herd faster and easier.
Accuracy in EPDs has increased immensely. Ten years ago the Hereford As-
sociation adopted Whole Herd Reporting. This means that breeders must send in
performance data on every animal in their herd. They no longer can pick and choose
which animal’s data they send in to the association for performance testing. Whole
Herd Reporting makes the data base more complete and the numbers much more
reliable.
The performance of the animals in the sale offering and the quality look of the
animals are coming together nicely. If we can be of assistance with any of your ques-
tions, feel free to contact us. We are really humbled by your support over the past
fifty plus years, and are looking forward to seeing you on February 15th.
