At 2 years old he scored 407" green and at 3 he was 513" green (all unofficial). Yes, it s a big number for us to swallow, so we had his antlers rescored by Les Steem, and he was only 1/8th off my score. Caliber s genetics have been limited. Only 12 straws were used on the cows outside my herd for the 2016 year at 70% conception that is 8 calves maybe, 4 male and 4 female? Conveniently enough the majority of these 12 straws were purchased by one buyer and we thank them for the confidence in our breeding program and for the support. 2017 will be another exciting year on the farm watching these young bulls grow, don t miss this BIG opportunity to get some Caliber into your cows this fall.
