Sires, Donors, Semen, & Embryos

Our breeding program is really developed around using AI and embryo Transfer but we use some of our developing bulls on certain breedings for testing of our genetics and as a backup. We have been very careful in the selection of sires and our donors and use Dr. Charles Hannon DVM. for our flushing . Our embryos are grade 1 and frozen but we can accommodate you with direct transfer or pregnancies if you wish. We do multiple and single sire breedings from the Braunvieh, Angus, and Maine breeds.

                                                                                                                                                                                                             Grid" has bred a few of our Braunvieh dams as well as a Hereford and an Angus. To date all of his calves have been excellent. He is currently for sale as he is too close in relation for most of our breeding but will be collecting him for future breedings as we feel he will produce very maternal daughters. We are currently developing MIF Memphis, a Fullblood, and MIF Imagicon, a 15/16 Pure bred, dark & polled as  new herd bulls.

We have a nice selection of semen from several bulls from other breeders and are in the process of collecting our bulls such as "Grid". If you are in need of semen contact us and we will assist you in your needs. Most of our semen costs $20/straw and $10 certificate cost for registration purposes.


Donors

The emphasis of our herd, as it should be in any herd is in cow power. Great cows make great calves that develop into great bulls & heifers. We breed for strong maternal traits, docility, and eye appeal. From the very best we select for our donor program. It has taken us several years in selection and breeding to get to this point and we use part of our herd and contracted dams as recipients. We see embryo transfer as a excellent tool to develop top genetics in high numbers to create entire herds and as a tool to lower the cost to customers of acquiring animals.

MIF Grace                     Grace is a very maternal dam with a good udder and a daughter of our matriarch dam SC Emmy and Elvis and greatly resembles her mother. She had a 82 lb BW and carries a BW EPD of -1.9  She was Reserve Grand Champion at the KC Royal and several class winners in '08 and Grand Champion cow/calf pair at the World Beef Expo in '09.

MIF Chloe                     Chloe is also a daughter of SC Emmy and TLC Bud. She is very maternal, yet thick and correct like most Bud daughters and had a BW of 82 lbs and a BW EPD of .5

MIF Mary Agnes        An embryo mate to Chloe, Mary Agnes is another example of quality in the Bud daughters and more refined than Chloe. She was the champion breed heifer in the '08 Farm World Beef Expo, Reserve Grand Champion Heifer in the '09 World Beef Expo, and class winner in the '09 NAILE. She had a BW of 65 lbs and a BW EPD of .5

SC Emmy                     This is where it started. Emmy has been the foundation to our fullblood Braunvieh program. She is just an excellent example of a maternal dam that can pass on all the traits we want. She is no longer in service but was the baseline we used to develop our sires and dams to our program and a tribute to the breed.

TLC Bud's Bess         Bess is a Pure bred Braunvieh that atypically throws dark to black offspring and generally black and polled daughters. We have sold several heifers out of her and all of her offspring are very docile and thick.

EVF Kruger Trend       "Sweety" as we called her, was a powerfull and thick individual with great milk and growth traits. She only threw one daughter for us but some tremendous sons. She had a very successful career as a show heifer and we currently have several embryos from her and a mating of TLC Ike in recips and just a few embryos left. She is no longer in the herd.

Craft New Design 1407-208
                                                 
"Kattie" is an example of best in Angus genetics. Very maternal, excellent udder, and eye appeal. A daughter of Bon View New Design and Ms Battle Cry she has produced some excellent sons and daughters for us and is now entering our donor program.
