#11 "Levang Foundation 06J" ** Bulletin Up and coming foundation sire: Received data on several third
party test herds now, and is proving to be another "Heifer Bull".
One of the tests were conducted at Steve Henderson's Ranch located at Pompeys Pillar, Montana 59064.
Phone: 406-875-2279
On second calf and older cows he produced all black and polled
bull and heifer calves with an average birth weight of 75.8lbs and
an average gestation of 278 days, with excellent vigor at birth. So
if he can produce calves with a week shorter gestation he should
reduce the average birth weight of that cow's calves, and add the
heterosis of 62%-85% you should have more vigor at birth than
the purebred or one breed calves. (Pictures of progeny to follow)
Some of those 60lbs birth weight calves are growing very well!
We are very impressed. I am expecting the "quick growth" on
these to be in the 10 range. This is what we have been shooting
for. Call later for growth reports
His Dam is a super solid black and polled donor cow with high fertility and proven embryo production of
Apr. 16 embryos per flush and 25-34 eggs per flush with very light dosage of drugs, (The national average
for other breeds is Apr. 7 embryos per flush). She had excellent feed conversion and great average daily
gains.
