In production livestock time is money,

the longer you have to feed them affects the bottom line. Most all cattle get big enough in time, but the ones that are most profitable are the ones that cross the finish line first with ideal weight and carcass traits. As our costs continue to rise, improving weaning weight and decreasing days on feed will improve bottom line. We appreciate the progeny data that we receive from our satisfied customers as this is the most accurate field evaluation of our program. Please look the data over and again we would like to give thanks to our customers for telling their neighbors and friends about the benefits of Brink Fleckvieh. Thank you.

Bought a Brink Bull for $4750
Bull Sired 143 more pounds at weaning age, against previous genetic program.
Those 143 more pounds @ $1.50/lb equals $214.50/head more revenue!

Figuratively, bull sires 100 calves in lifetime, that’s 14,300 more pounds equaling $21,450. Wow!

We run 1050 Angus cows. Since using Brink Fleckvieh bulls we’ve added 60lbs – 80lbs to our weaning weights, with no increased calving problems. The extra weight and accelerated performance has improved our profitability by selling more pounds per cow exposed to Brink Fleckvieh bulls. Our half-blood Fleckvieh females are outperforming their Angus dams.

(Using Brink Fleckvieh Bulls since 2004)

 

On January 20, 2016 we sold a load of fall born steers that were born October 1st through November 1st. They were 14 1⁄2 to 15 1⁄2 months old and weighing 1490lbs – 1585lbs. These steers were 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 Fleckvieh influenced. Knife cut at two weeks of age and never given an implant. We fed them a TMR ration of snaplage, high moisture corn, DDGS, hay and mineral.

(Using Brink Fleckvieh Bulls since 2010)

 

We run moderate framed angus cows. The Fleckvieh bulls from Brink Fleckvieh have proven to be a great cross. By only changing the bull in our program, our first calf crop averaged 87lbs more than the previous two years. Other than the growth, the major thing that caught my eye was the bottom end of the calves disappeared and seemed to be placed in the middle. The heifers we have kept have been very fertile and docile mothers with plenty of milk. I will continue to use Brink Fleckvieh bulls in our program.
