Bono’s EPDs – Feb 2025

Homozygous Polled.  Dilutor Free. Full Fleckvieh. I’ve always been ‘Pro-Bono’ – he is just a quiet bull that goes about his business.  Bono’s massive hip and tremendous thickness, connects with a unique pedigree that combines our two most popular cow families in DLD Lady Western 48R and Spruceburn Pauline.   We unfortunately lost Battleborn this past breeding season, and while we have a small semen inventory on him, his progeny will be limited moving forward.  Bono is one of our more performance oriented bulls who, with a built in genetic horn remover, will add pounds to steers and leave excellent replacement females!

Bono was selected by Rich Simmentals, Calmar, AB
