Bull Development

Fall heifersWe can feed and develop your bulls at our farm as we grow ours. Our facilities are among the most cattle and handler friendly around, allowing the cattle to be handled with very little stress. We maintain an aseptic technique when vaccinating and treating any animals, and utilize Dr. N. T. Cosby of Land O Lake feeds and Dr. Mac Wilt of Paris Vet Clinic to assist with nutrition and animal health.

Fall bullsBulls are developed on a high forage ration of forage sorghum and wheat silage, hay, corn, dried distillers grain and minerals. They are gain tested on a ration, which targets a 3 lbs/day gain. This allows them to reach their full potential without the damages caused by many high gain “push” rations. At yearling age, bulls are ultrasound scanned, and hip heights and scrotal measurements are taken.

With feed costs rising, the ability of animals to grow and develop on reasonable cost rations is necessary. Our program tests this ability.
