They are pushing the boundaries of high profit cattle by creating low input cows with calves that are in extreme demand. These are F1 cross heifers out of registered black angus mommas picked for good temperament and AIed to Hereford Bulls(Long Range). This is proven cross that has produced many high profit cows. The Akaushi and Hereford influence will moderate the frame size and create a high functioning cow with excellent breed up and mothering ability. The Akaushi breed is known for fertility, longevity and intense marbling with minimal back fat. This is a breed that is creating extreme demand with calves generating a $.20 - .30/lb. premium in the marketplace. The American Akaushi Association DNA verifies parentage on all of its calves and has the best carcass EPDs in the industry. They are known as the best tasting and the healthiest beef that money can buy. These heifers were born and raised on the ranch in Southeast Wyoming at 5,400 ft elevations. The heifers run on native rangeland last summer and pasture bred. In the fall and winter, they were handled extensively and grazed on cropland with single wire electric fence. In the spring they were calved on pastures close to home with limited supervision. Thirty days prior to calving they were put on a high roughage ration. On the rare occasion that a heifer didn’t claim her calf, she was culled from the group. The calves are out of purebred Akaushi bulls from the Heartbrand Cattle Co, the premier domestic breeder out of TX (https://heartbrandcattle.com/) with an avg bw of 64.6 lbs. Calves are banded, vaccinated with 7-way and Bova-shield gold. Born in March-April, they will be a healthy 7-12 wks old on sale day. After 30 days of breeding, most of the Akaushi bulls were moved to the main cow herd and two calving ease black angus bulls from Haas Angus in LaGrange, WY were turned in to help clean up. All bulls were pulled after 60 days. We estimate that at least 75% of these calves will be 1/2 Akaushi and the remainder of these calves will be 3/4 Angus 1/4 Akaushi. Prior to shipment, DNA samples will be taken from each calf and the results will be provided back to the buyer later this summer. It usually takes about six weeks to get the DNA sample results back.
