Della’s EPDs – Fall 2023

One of the most difficult things for us to source always seems to be a heifer bull.  So, everyone once in a while,  we take the opportunity to AI one of our highly maternal cows to a calving ease bull, hoping to produce a heifer bull for our own use.  Thus Della.  Definitely not a bull! The great news is that she has developed into a long bodied, big volume female, and is backed with a fairly exclusive service to Crossroad Pilot for what is guaranteed to be a very eye-appealing polled calf.  With luck (better than mine), she could instantly produce that elusive heifer bull that is in such demand; providing an instant return on investment.  Della is one stylish heifer, loaded with maternal, who is destined to produce popular progeny!
