BF New Level 3S

Our newest herd sire, a son of New Level, was the top Angus bull (out of 50) in the 2007 Southern Illinois University Carbondale Feed Efficiency Test.  He has some impressive numbers, and we excited to have the opportunity to use him in our herd.

PAA 3306 New Level 5056
His sire is Four Eighty Seven Ironwood, our top feed efficiency bull in 2005.  His first calves have impressed, with 9 bull calves at a 105 weaning ratio and 5 heifers at a weaning ratio of 97.

Southern Illinois University has been measuring individual feed efficiency as part of their bull test for many years.  In 2004 we bought one of the top bulls in their bull test - he is a son of Boyd New Day out of a Traveler 71 cow. His average daily gain was 5.03 (Ratio 110), weight per day of age 3.78 (Ratio 105), and average feed efficiency 5.65 (Ratio 117)!  We are very pleased with his first calves.
