NEW ADDITIONS
This was the year that we busted the budget on herd sires ! It was partly planned and partly due to the loss of Monument . It was our year to buy several new
Limousin sires but not to purchase a Red Angus sire . Of course , that changed when we discovered Monument dead in the bull pasture at the end of April . You talk about poor timing . There were only a few Red Angus sales left in the country and to be lucky enough to find a bull with enough quality and qualifications to be a top notch herdsire was a tall order . I think we succeeded though but time will tell . Read on about FLRA Long Haul RK07 . I ’ m excited to get his first calves . Stay tuned for further updates . I think that we put together a really high-quality set of herdsires that are balanced and strong across the board with important traits for production , carcass and maternal .
Wulf ’ s Konveyor T213K
Reg . ID - NPM2509055
Homozygous Polled - Heterozygous Black - Purebred Limousin
We purchased Konveyor on the Wulf Cattle “ Opportunity of 2023 ” sale as one of the top lots of the sale . Wulf ’ s retained ½ semen interest and fall possession and we are tickled to partner with them on this outstanding individual . Konveyor will add growth and power to the Limousin population . His sire VL Hunker Down exceeded all expectations for adding muscle shape and performance with a super disposition . Konveyor ’ s 2-yearold dam is a product of ET and combines several top sire lines for growth , performance and carcass . Konveyor ranks in the top 10 % of the breed for 11 economically important traits including being in the top 2 % for Mainstream Terminal Index . His IMF scan data ratioed 129 and EPD for Marbling is in the top 3 % of the breed . Semen is available from the owners .
WZRK Klondike 4038

Klondike was a crowd favorite on the 2023 Wieczorek sale . If you sell cattle by the pound , then look no further than Klondike . He recorded a 711 lb . 205-day weight and weaning and yearling weight EPD ’ s rank in the top 10 % of the breed . He also ranks in the top 15 % for total maternal , top 2 % for docility , top 1 % for carcass weight , top 10 % marbling and top 15 % for rib eye .

FLRA Long Haul RK07
Reg . ID - 4614391
100 % 1A Red Angus
Check out this outstanding herd sire and I think you ’ ll agree he ’ s a top prospect for genetic advancement and worthy of your consideration . Long Haul was the high selling lot of the inaugural New York Red Angus “ Right on Red “ sale . Study this bull and you ’ ll have to agree he ’ s the real deal ! In the top 33 % for birthweight and in the top 5 % for weaning and top 21 % for yearling . On the female side his milk is in the top 21 % of the breed . In the carcass department he is outstanding with an IMF scan of an impressive score of 5.05 and a marbling EPD that is in the top 2 % of the breed . His gridmaster score is 61 to place him in the top 11 % of the breed . Sired by Feddes Treadstone , a top son of 5L Bourne and his dam is an 5L Independence x Deep End combination . When he stepped off the trailer coming from New York the trucker said he had traveled 1998 miles ! I think you can see that he is named appropriately !
