Planning Future Generations l i i

T hose cows above may look like they’re heading over the horizon, but they’re actually following Bob to the pens. It’s AI season and they’re getting to work on producing the next generation of Braunvieh at Brink Livestock. • Some of these cows will be AI’d to our homozygous polled, calving ease specialist BLC EZ Sleep pictured at right. He’s proven and consistent. We’ll be offering 30 units of his semen plus 10 units each on BLC Tru Poll Ranger 516T and BLC Venture 317A in the Jan. 15th National Sale. • Other cows are in the pasture with young herd sire BLC High Noon 624J, a homozygous polled EZ son out of a powerful Toronto dam. We’re eager to see his first calves this spring. High Noon combines the calving ease from his sire with an added boost of growth from his dam. He’s balanced! We will have High Noon semen for spring breeding. • Our niece Jordyn Walker is selling a Toronto heifer bred to EZ Sleep in the Jan. 15th Ft. Worth National Sale. She’s something special. We’ve talked before about User Friendly Cattle – easy calving, problem free, marketable producers that are easy to handle. Those traits are front and center as we plan future generations at Brink Livestock.
