Had to make to make time to stop at Schaff Angus Valley on this trip as well...
Always a great time spent with Kelly evaluting the next generation of cattle... but I sure do love the old pedigrees he has that are still working strong in the Valley... Resource, Renowns, and Densitys. I am always appreciative of the time Kelly, Bob and the whole crew allow for visits to the Valley!

Found a really special cow in the pasture with an old school pedigree (Resource x Density x 0075) that we were able secure a new partnership on for a client... more details on that one coming later this fall!

Had a very nice visit to Strommen Ranch… really liked the BC Robust and Bruin Torque heifers, and SAV Easy Street topped off the tour! Really a great set of cows, and I look forward to seeing the bulls before the sale this next spring!

I firmly believe in fetal programming…

The effect of maternal diet on the developing fetus is a consideration, especially in heifer feeding strategies.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Clark Quarterback 1Q1 to our lineup this spring. He represents an option for calving ease yet offers a herd sire that is deep-sided and wide-based, offering considerable growth potential. He is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional sons of Quarterback that we have identified, demonstrating growth and performance attributes akin to those of his grandsire, SAV Quarterback 7933. The daughters possess flawless udders and exhibit an appealing feminine shape and appearance, and will be highlighted in the Clark Farms Angus Fall Female Sale. Please note that the availability of semen is limited this spring and is expected to sell out quickly. Message us to place an order, or contact GHS at 515-371-5065 or Jack Clark at 717-658-6435.
