Delivering A Most Unusual Package of Benefits
Tenderness, Marbling, Ribeye, Efficiency, Growth, Calving Ease, Longevity, and Polled
Semen Available
Few bulls can deliver exceptional calving ease combined with exceptional growth. Even fewer can deliver strong ribeye size and exceptional marbling. Only a few ELITE bulls combine all four traits. MO is among that very small group.
The Bovigen GeneSTAR© protocol also shows MO to be in an even more select group - Herefords that are rated "Four Stars" for Tenderness (homozygous for T1 & T3), a most valuable trait in days of high corn prices and shortened feeding periods and RFI research at the University of Wisconsin has demonstrated his rogenies superiority at feed efficiency.
All of this, backed by the EPDs below, makes real differences in determining profit or loss. Calving ease means fewer lost animals, more calves to wean, fewer open cows and lower vet bills. Great growth means more pounds per live animal at sale time. Larger ribeyes increase value at slaughter (or sale to the feedlot) and the extra marbling results in calves that make the grid work for you, not against you! The tenderness genes assure greater consumer satisfaction and feed efficiency goes right to the bottom line.
Add his bred-in longevity, structural correctness, moderate frame and easy-going disposition - well, he makes a pretty compelling case of why he should be used in your breeding program. When you see his daughters, the case becomes overwhelming.
