Maternal Strains
Beefbooster maternal bulls are genetically unrelated. By crossing them, you can increase hybrid vigor and enhance reproduction and lifetime productivity. In fact, maximum hybrid vigor can increase lifetime production by as much as 25%.
M1
The perfect mate for cows primarily of Hereford, Simmental or Limousin stock
These moderate, intermediate framed bulls are developed from an Angus base. The primary objective measurement for selection is weaning weight with emphasis put on mothering ability and sound udders.
The most demanding selection process
The Beefbooster selection standards are so rigorous that only 20 – 25% of Beefbooster bull calves qualify as seedstock. We test the performance of every animal to determine its genetic merit, both on the ranch at pre-weaning, and at the test station during post-weaning.
M4
The right partner for cows primarily of Angus, Simmental or Hereford stock
M4 bulls complement M1 maternal bulls and are the other component of our Beefbooster Crossbred Commercial Cow. M4 bulls were specifically developed from a different genetic pool to produce robust prolific mother cows.
The most demanding selection process
The Beefbooster selection standards are so rigorous that only a select number of Beefbooster bull calves qualify as seedstock. We test the performance of every animal to determine its genetic merit, both on the ranch at pre-weaning, and at the test station during post-weaning.
How do Our Maternal Bulls Stack Up?
Beefbooster uses economic selection indexes to weigh traits according to their economic importance. This provides a way to balance selection of traits — giving you more predictable profitability.
