Jr. bulls are yearling's and will weight at sale time around 1,200 lbs. The Sr. bulls will be about 1 1/2 to 2 years of age. I think the biggest bull was 1700+ lbs.

We have a 21 day warm up,112 day test, 21 day cool down and then the big sale. We weight the bulls every 28 days and at the end ultrasound for rib eye, muscle thickness, back fat and fertility.

All this data goes to the breeder and breed organizations and is used to select the sale order.

Hell of a lot of work!
