29CH0206 BIG BEN

  • 29CH0206 BIG BEN is fast becoming a leader for Calving Ease.

BIG BEN x WCR Sir Tradition 9403 P, WCR Sir Big Ben 134P, Wienk Charolais

“The demand for our first group of Big Ben sons was outstanding.  Not only were they a favorite of guys looking for calving ease, but with such a tremendous spread from birth  to weaning/yearling, these calves had many performance oriented cattlemen raising their hands as well.  Not many sires in the breed can play both sides of the field as well as Big Ben.” – Ty Eschenbaum, Wienk Charolais

29CH0205 SOLUTION has also seen demand for his first calves at auction this spring.

29CH0205 SOLUTION

  • 29CH0205 SOLUTION’s first calves are impressing breeders with their moderate frame, big rib shape and added stoutness
  • Lot 40 at Doll Ranch was the co – 2nd high selling son at $19,000 sired by Solution

29AR0236 EPIC Progeny Rise to Top

May 2, 2012

29AR0236 EPIC sired calves have been well received by commercial and purebred producers this spring sale season.  In addition to the volume, muscle and solid growth the EPIC calves also combine excellent EPDs.

“EPIC is a bull I think a lot of breeders will easily find this spring. He has a lot to offer from pedigree, performance and phenotype that people want.  EPIC offers more performance in a moderate package than most calving ease Red Angus sires. His progeny have good muscle and rib shape.  Not to mention his maternal side of the pedigree offers a big maternal advantage combined with his paternal side being an outcross to most bloodlines.”
