Turning things around

This is one of our newest Donors at Nelson Cattle Company. We are honored to be partners with Bruhn Farms: Al Bruhn and Family. Her farm name is "360". We named her this because she is the kind of female that will turn a program around...360 degrees!

We purchased her as a yearling heifer from the Doug Steele family. She is a daughter of Plainview Lutton E102 and Steele Miss Kymra Katy K006. In the year that we have owned her she has produced 12 calves and 28 grade one embryos! We will usually NEVER flush a virgin female but we opted to give it a shot and flushed her last spring to MEYER 734. That mating produced 12 grade one embryos which we put in fresh. Eleven of them stuck and we now have a small herd of Meyer X 360 blazed faces running around the pasture! We then let her cycle once and bred her back using SEXED Maximus semen. She settled the first time and produced a beautiful heifer calf.

We were so impressed with the quality of the calfcrop that we decided to flush her this spring to Heat Wave. That mating produced 28 grade one embryos with 8 unfertilized. We put a few in fresh and the others are being put in over a couple of different intervals. Needless to say we are incredibly excited about this flush and look forward to next spring. As of yet we haven't decided what to breed her to. We had better be making up our minds soon!!!
