MERIT BREEDERS

Weights and Measures Program

Our cattle breeding objectives

Disposition: They've got to be easy to pen, work thru a chute, and load in a trailer.
Fertility: A live calf every year.
Weight Gain: It's pounds that sell.
Conformation: Eye appeal, sound structure and good meat quality .
Milking ability: Good bag and long production with timely breed back.
Hardiness: The vet doesn't improve the genetics and is expensive.
