Esperance 377J The decision to purchase the great herd sire
of these calves was a gamble, the proof it was a winning decision is in his progeny. When Barney Simonsen,
Rocking AC Beefmasters, planned the mating which resulted in Esperance it was not a shot in the dark, but a well planned
decision based on EPD's and Performance. His sire, AC Black Bart 489/5 was a black herdsire produced by Rocking
AC long before "Black Bulls" became the latest fad but his use as a herd sire in their operation was based
on performance not color. The dam of Esperance, AC Gina 500G, a ** FORTY-FOUR 44/6 daughter, is part of an exclusive
group of Beefmaster females that possess positive Scrotal EPD's. This is a result of the above average scrotal development
of her male & grandmale progeny. Because of the influence of Esperance we have not found it necessary to chase
"Fads" to survive. As Dr. Watt Casey, Albany Texas, once told me "the problem with chasing a fad
is that you can never catch it and when you think you have a new fad has replaced it, just stick to breeding good
cattle and you wont need fads"
Esperance 377J x *BF 7125 Embryo Calves |
Over 20 Years ago we decided to produce
cattle that need no intervention for SURVIVAL. We don't assist during calving, we simply take a birth
weight, do DNA for sire verification and ear tag, WE GIVE NO INJECTIONS. At weaning we vaccinate with Triangle
9, Ivermectin Pour-On, and ear notch for BVD Type II. We operate under the motto "SURVIVAL-OF-THE-FITTEST". Hardiness,
Vigor, Efficiency and "LOW MAINTENANCE" IS passed from generation to generation, so you can plan
for it OR you can produce or purchase calves that have had so much human intervention that when they do get
sick they have no immune response. It is totally your choice. |

Have you ever wondered why some Breeders
only give you profile pictures to look at. Must be a problem with their camera, "do ya think". We are
not afraid of front and rear views of our cattle, their thickness is natural.
