In 2009 we begin to see the results of our endeavor to reduce, in fact, eliminate the birth of red calfs from our herd. The purchase of
our "Homozygous Black" bulls was indeed a good move and has already increased the value of the breeding stock we have in the
pens now.

The J-B now conducts DNA testing regularly on our calfs. As we expected, we are seeing some homozygous black babies in our
herd. This is great for us because we can now continue to improve our desirable hereford traits and increase the hereford
percentage by using ABHA approved hereford bull semen with the homozygous heifers.

With the recession and having a new president establishing new policies that will effect us from now on, we have felt the crunch just
like everyone else but vow to continue to offer the best breed stock we can deliver.

Take care and remember to drop us a line anytime about how your cattle are doing.
