FELTONS SOUNDER 957 P23932992

 '957' was used for 12 years and his daughters now comprise half of the cow herd. They milk well, are excellent mothers and breed back quickly. So far not one of his daughters has been culled due to udder or eye problems. Several of his sons in the Genetic Outreach Program gained over 4.0 lb/day with marbling scores over 5.0. He is a Trait Leader for Calving Ease Direct, Birth Weight, Scrotal Circumference and Intramuscular Fat.

He excels in the new economic selection indices, ranking as a Trait Leader in all four of the $Profit Indexes and was recently added to AHA's Sire of Distinction list.

At 14 years of age, he is retired and his sons and grandsons handle the pasture duty.

Anyone familiar with Frank Felton's breeding program should notice FF PROSPECTA 997 in '957's pedigree. She was also the grandmother of FELTONS 517 and the mother of FELTONS ENDURANCE 745 and the F PRINCESS A80 cow.

Semen is now available $25/straw, certificates $60 when needed
