Bull Development
Bulls were all raised and developed at our headquarter ranches
in Montana. They were performance tested with yearling
weights and ultrasound data taken in January. They were
then shipped to Laramie mid-February to be wintered on a
maintenance ration. After six weeks at that elevation, Dr. Tim
Holt felt confident in an accurate PAP test which was taken
March 26.
