Dear Fellow Cattle Breeders,
Crooked Post Shorthorns would like to offer for sale a pen of ten bred heifers. This group of heifers was put together last spring specifically for a deal into N. Dakota that did not quite come through. Each of these individuals are exceptional examples of:
This elite show quality bred heifer group presents an exciting opportunity in the commencement of a total package herd platform. This package allows breeders of "youth" and those who are "long in the tooth" to eliminate the guess work in moving forward in a powerful way. They will offer quick returns with top class genetics in their first calf crop and remain highly productive for years to come.
The high level of predictability present in our cow families and herdsires is really brought forward by these heifers, they could be bred to different types of sires in the future, as to your exacting desires, and still deliver a consistent desirable product.
