We are humbled by the outpour of support we've received from individuals, organizations, and our local and state law enforcement agencies over the last month. It's true that some good always comes from the bad and we've been reminded of this numerous times throughout this experience. Thank you to all of those that spread the word across the Northwest. Two individuals have been apprehended in the shooting of our 7UP Heifer on the feed ground in Stanfield, Oregon. We pray that this will be a turning point in their lives and that they choose to take this opportunity to learn the value of doing good in this world, rather than evil.

Thank you again for all your kindness and support ~ Terry & Debby

CROSSBREEDING . . . SIMPLIFIED!

It is an absolute given that if you make your living in agriculture production then you will make more money by utilizing
heterosis than by ignoring its value. There are hundreds, if not thousands of research reports repeated showing the value
of hybrid vigor with almost no dispute. Its positive effects on reproductive traits, growth and production efficiency are well
documented and substantial. Why then, if heterosis is such a phenomenal tool to promote profitability, did crossbreeding
lose favor in the beef industry? Two primary reasons rise to the top of the list. First, managing the promoted crossbreeding
systems of the 70’s and 80’s was difficult if not impossible. Second, the list of breeds offering little or no production and or
product value to the US beef system was far too long. With no workable and simple system to maintain a useful and
consistent level of heterosis in commercial herds and no plan to logically combine complimentary breeds and take
advantage of each breeds strengths and information, “old style” crossbreeding was doomed.
Straightbreeding solved one of these problems. It was and is simple! Additionally, over time the commercial cowherd and
the marketed progeny became more and more uniform in terms of breed composition and biological type and thus were
easier to manage and market. That’s great, except that once the hybrid vigor was bred out of the commercial cow herd,
which takes 15 to 20 years, production efficiency and profits were bred out too. Remember that a crossbred cow produces
on average the equivalent of 1 to 1.5 more calves during her lifetime than a straightbred cow! In addition there obviously is
no chance of incorporating available and valuable breed complimentarity when straightbreeding so breed weaknesses
become industry weaknesses.
Using SimAngus composite bulls offers the simplicity and ultimate breed percentage uniformity of straightbreeding, PLUS
the undeniable value of retained heterosis to commercial cowherds. The more generations of SimAngus bulls you use the
more similar your cowherd becomes in terms of breed composition and biological type regardless of the initial cowherd
makeup. Also, one breed of bull can be turned out with any group of females just like in a simplistic straightbreeding
scenario. By selecting genetically high value SimAngus bulls, black or red, commercial producers can also take advantage of
the breed complimentarity of the highest value Continental and British gene pools available. SimAngus designed
composites are a simple answer to a question that this industry got wrong the last time around. For more information on

"Profitability is not based on the number of complicated selection tools a breed association can develop, but by a cow's ability to wean a heavy, healthy calf in any environment." ~ John Ford, Santa Gertrudis Breeders International
