Outlook, MT - 7-8 YO Pairs

Cows have been on a 45 day breeding season for 3 years.

These cows are NOT late. Our typical calving season is May 1- June 15.

We extended the season a bit last year due to drought and late season decline in grass value.

These cows have been wintered on corn silage ration. They are in really good condition.

Cows are sired by Gateway Simmental bulls. We have worked hard to maintain fairly moderate sized frame (4.5-5) and mature weights (ave 1260). Sires of this cow group include sons of GW Premium Beef, GW Predestined.

We focus on maternal genetics (mod milk, weaning, and CE). Also focus on high value carcass and feedlot performance. We have been feeding and retaining ownership of the calves through finish and have closeout information on request.

• Last Year:
  • 90% of steers and heifers were Choice and above.
  • 98% YG 1-3. No outs.
  • Overall ADG (4 lbs, 184 days steers) and (3.2 heifers 190 days).
  • Steers averaged 1534 lbs, heifers averaged 1350.

Cows have been bred back to Gateway Simmental and Bar CK bulls. The sire groups have an average API of 170 and TI of 89.63. The average Doc. Score is also 14.78, CE of 16.17. We have very little calving trouble and rarely have to assist a cow. We do not check any cow, including heifers, after 10 pm weather permitting.
