WELCOME<br />
Once again thank you for taking the time to evaluate our breeding program. This has been a tough year but<br />
the best cattle prices we have ever witnessed will soon be upon<br />
us.<br />
I want to stress … our main value to you is our breeding<br />
program. It is not to tout a bull’s ra-ra pedigree or sell you a fat<br />
bull that looks like he has a lot of muscle. But, rather to help<br />
you NET MORE $$$ from a methodical, economic <strong>and</strong> reality<br />
driven approach to commercial beef production.<br />
Our bulls selling are not perfect. No bulls are. What they will<br />
do is deliver what we tell you. <strong>The</strong> drought started for us last<br />
fall <strong>and</strong> it killed our weaning weights so we decided not to<br />
publish them. If you want to really choose the right bull for your program I suggest you call me as I can point<br />
you in the right direction or no direction if we don’t have a bull that meets your specs. As for the heifers I<br />
want to remind you this is a long term program. We have sunk a ton of effort into developing them <strong>and</strong> they<br />
have been culled ruthlesslessly.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are some really nice purebred cows selling. We will provide DNA cards for any calves born to unknown<br />
sires as we run multiple bulls in our breeding traps.<br />
Our goal is not to have zillions of buyers, just the high quality, net profit driven ones whom enjoy enduring <strong>and</strong><br />
profitable relationships that last a lifetime.<br />
Thanks again,<br />
Chris, Melinda, Isabel <strong>and</strong> James Jeffrey<br />

<strong>The</strong> Common Sense Cowman Breeding Program<br />
For years we followed the conventional wisdom that what we wanted were balance trait cows. We bred, owned<br />
<strong>and</strong> propagated balanced trait cows … pure maternal <strong>and</strong> growth cows. Our experience led us to the conclusion<br />
that all we made was the “jack of all trades, master of none” cow. We realized it took us eight years to break even<br />
on a cow. By owning the “balance trait cow” the average cowman is paying for terminal traits he only needs in the<br />
calves he sells. (See example.) <strong>The</strong> cowman was owning a cow only half as good as he needed.<br />
This led us to develop the Common Sense Cowman Breeding Program, where the cowman owns 100 percent<br />
maternal cows (CowMakers) <strong>and</strong> sells calves weaning off at 65-70% of their mother’s weight with outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
growth <strong>and</strong> carcass traits. What you sell is sired by our Power<strong>Bull</strong>s that have 100% focus on our maternal traits.<br />
In other words, own the maternal trails <strong>and</strong> sell the terminal traits.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Power<strong>Bull</strong><br />
Exceptional, highly proven growth traits<br />
Unrelated as possible to the CowMaker Line<br />
for maximum within-breed heterosis<br />
High in carcass qualities desirable to the<br />
feeder/packer<br />
High feed efficiency traits … feedlot tested<br />
Pedigree easily recognized by the feeder/<br />
packer <strong>and</strong> is easy to sell<br />
Can be highly uniform through the use of full<br />
brothers<br />

<strong>The</strong>se heifers are a consortium of Montana bred females. <strong>The</strong>y are all Angus based, very<br />
feminine, long bodied <strong>and</strong> the look common among the good maternal cows. Montana bred<br />
heifers like these are extremely durable as they are used to covering a significant amount<br />
of country. <strong>The</strong>y weathered the worst drought in 60 years <strong>and</strong> they just glisten. AI bred to<br />
GDAR Game Day, these heifers will be popular as Game Day sons have been highly sought<br />
after at bull sales across the nation. His daughters have picture perfect udders, femininity <strong>and</strong><br />
real world appeal.<br />

are real world managers of commercial cattle. <strong>The</strong> CowMakers are not based on “hope <strong>and</strong> change”. <strong>The</strong>se are the good ones. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
