Sky King Ranch welcomes “Dorothy and Toto” direct from the record breaking GAR sale. As this GAR donor said to her 6I6 heifer calf when we let her in to the lush front pasture “I guess we’re not in Kansas anymore“. This stunning SAF Focus daughter puts it all together. At a time when carcass traits are taking on major importance, she is in the top 1% for IMF, top 10% for RE, the top 1% for $ feedlot and the top 1% for beef $. She proves you can have outstanding carcass EPD’s and still have breed leading growth EPD’s. She ranks in the top 2% for weaning weight the top 3 % for milk and the top 1% for yearling weight. That’s an unbeatable combination of carcass and growth all done with a very moderate birth weight EPD. If you want to take your program to the next level, contact us to obtain embryos or calves from this truly spectacular female.

Take a long hard look at our latest donor, Rita 931. She perfectly blends the carcass traits of New Design 036 with the maternal power and growth of Rita 1R3 into a unique attractive package. She has the classic phenotype with smooth shoulders, a very feminine head and neck, long deep body and a strong top. She has weaned one calf with a ratio of 102 in the Wehrman program.

She has the numbers to be a donor. She ranks in the top 8% for weaning weight, the top 2% for milk and the top 3% for yearling weight. Clearly she is a powerful female for growth. Her carcass EPD"s are even more impressive. She ranks in the top 2% of the breed for BOTH IMF and Retail Product.

I think you can see why we are so excited to have her in our program. Contact us today for embryos or to flush this outstanding individual to the bull of your choice. Move dramatically forward in both growth and carcass by adding these superior genetics to your program.

Meet "Hokie", a stellar addition to the Sky King Ranch Foundation Females. She was selected from the heart of the outstanding research herd at Virginia Tech. She is pure power with a no holes pedigree. She is sired by the legendary "6807" and out of Dr. Beal"s "S72" donor that headlined the Virginia Tech Dispersal and was selected by Pineland Farms in Maine for $9,500. She represents what performance is all about. A true curve bender cow, she ranks in the TOP 10% of the breed for both Weaning Weight AND Milk EPD and in the TOP 5% for Yearling Weight EPD. She does that while sporting a birth weight EPD of only 1.6 lbs, which place her among the 25% of the cows with the lowest birth weight EPD. This is one that truly deserves to be a donor and has the numbers to back it up. Come and meet "Hokie" and her natural heifer calf by Bon View New Design 036. They are a sight to behold.

Contact us to flush to the bull of your choice and add these powerful genetics to your program.
