MAN'S JD 338N
..."JD" is our exciting new herdsire. He has sired the
consistent type of bulls that our commercial customers demand. He
was the Reserve Senior bull calf champion at Agribition 2003. 205
day weight of 758 lbs and a 365 day weight of 1424. We purchased
him out of the Winn Mann bull sale where he was the high selling
bull of the day and one of the high selling bulls of the season.
His mother Merit Smoothie 8073 was purchased by Winn Mann in the
Females of Merit sale as a bred heifer. She has gone on to be a
top producer. 8073 is deep bodied, easy fleshing, and good uddered
as well as being a consistant producer. We are fortunate to know
substantial information on JD's maternal background going back to
his great- great granddam - a long history of functional females,
performance and strong maternal traits. His first sons were in hot demand at our bull sale. JD's daughters are laying down nice udders.

ABC CAJA QUEBRADA ("BUDDY")
…The Montana Meat Machine "Buddy" was selected from
the great ABC cow herd in Augusta, Montana. He was the high performing
bull in his calf crop. His EPDs reflect his performance…top
6% for weaning and below breed average for birth weight. Buddy's
calves display exceptional muscle, uniformity and hair. The Cobb
program is synonymous with superior carcass traits, dominating carcass
competitions and fed beef expos all over the U.S. "Buddy's" calves display tremendous muscle. His sons will improve yield grade
in their progeny and should be a perfect fit on British based cow
herds that need an infusion of real muscle. His first daughters
are calving this year and are feminine, easy fleshing, excellent
udder type and are structurally sound. Jointly owned with Broken
Box Ranch, of Williams, California. His first daughters are now in production. They are very feminine, deep bodied with excellent udders.

SBPC BIG MAC 12Z
We selected Big Mac for our breeding program because of his tremendous
dam. Years later, the maternal strength of this bull has proved true.
His daughters are true range cows, with excellent feet, udders, fleshing
ability and fertility. Mac is quite likely the most muscular and masculine
Polled Unlimited. He's a low birth weight bull, with a birth weight
EPD that ranks him the top 4% for calving ease. Mac does not sacrifice
performance - he's in the top 15% of all sires for weaning. His daughters
can maintain themselves under ranch conditions. We went back to Mac
in the spring of 2003 because his progeny excel in so many areas of
economic importance. Hind sight is 20/20.

on the C-C program. He was also the #1 bull for marbling, and #2
for weaning to yearling gain. His first set of daughters are coming
into production right on track.
