They're not corn fat, and they're ready to work, right?

With 800 bulls, we have the opportunity to get the calving ease, to get the growth, to

And then to get some that are just that awesome combination of marbling, motherability, fertility, and that's what we're shooting for, right?

Got it.

Never have the perfect cow, but with 800 of them, we have that opportunity to have a group of really high cavities bulls and a group of terminal growth bulls in each of those breeds.

But we do love...

My dad challenges it all the time, and he may be a prick in some of the sides of some associations, but he really challenges them to make those EPDs more accurate, whether that makes some of the top bulls go down or not.

The goal is to make them more accurate.

Yeah, so some of our cooperators do, but...

We sell every four-year-old cow, which is something unique that we do.

My granddad started it.

Lots of turnover.

So we need the females.

And so we don't use it.

And with embryo transfer, we can use a lot of those top females to be the nucleus of our herd.

We actually did more embryo transfer last year and this year than we have ever before.

Just really trying to...

make the right kind of, of cattle.

And we're getting more information all the time and trying to understand that and making sure it's accurate and then making sure that their physical traits are good too.

The udders are good that they're, you know, there's some feet problems in each of those breeds and making sure that that's not an issue for our customers.
