This group of heifers is another set out of my Shorthorn cows that should milk well and produce calves that yield high choice and prime on the rail. All but the #1 heifer are bred to the A.I. sire RES Volunteer 051. Heifers # 1, 2 and 10 are sired by G A R Expectation 4915. Both of these bulls are trait leaders in weaning weight, yearling weight, ribeye area, feedlot value and beef value. Both bulls are well above average in marbling, intramuscular fat and grid value. The natural service sire is well above average for marbling, ribeye area, retail product and grid value, which should be an excellent match for the # 1 heifer.
