There is a little competition around here when the calves cross the scale.

Everybody calls out a weight before Mom gets the official number. Somebody gets bragging rights. Somebody is usually off enough that we remind them about it for a while.

But there is a serious reason we enjoy days like this.

We want to know what these cattle actually did.

Weaning weights go in the books then transferred to the database. DNA samples get collected in the chute and then shipped to the lab in Lincoln. Contemporary groups get compared. Sire lines start separating themselves. And little by little, opinion gets replaced with information.

Because cattle cost too much today to breed them on hope.

We still believe in looking at the cattle. We still believe there is no substitute for knowing the cow herd. But every additional piece of good data gives us another chance to reduce risk, make a better mating and learn which genetics are actually moving BSG forward.

That matters to us, and we hope it matters to the people investing in our genetics.

The best part is that we still get to do a lot of it together.

Dad was ready to get back to work approximately 0.0003 seconds after this picture was taken. Mom and her notebook 📒 somehow managed to hide completely.

The cattle change. The tools get better. The family part stays pretty much the same.

Liberty Valance is turning out to be the ultimate, proven, red cow-maker sire that is explosive for early growth, breed leading for Stayability and other maternal traits, while being one of a kind for adding heaps of beef quality (Marbling) to his progeny.

High standards tend to recognize high standards.

Semex Beef × BSG

Over the last 12 months, Semex Beef has reached out and added two BSG herd sires, BSG Tactical 2416 and Gilman’s Basin 151L, to its far-reaching global sire lineup, becoming our newest global semen partner.

It’s a great partnership built around a shared vision:
- great herd sires start with powerful dams,
- they need to satisfy a critical stockman’s eye,
- and most importantly, they must carry the genetic horsepower to actually create meaningful progress toward more profitable cattle.

With Semex reaching more than 80 countries sections the globe, we’re excited to see just how far that shared vision can travel.

BSG is meticulous, critical, and uncompromising when selecting the bulls that earn the right to run with our cows. Only the breed’s best make it through the gate.
It’s pretty damn exciting to have a partner in Semex that can take the ones that do and make them available to the world.

BSG Liberty Lassie 2362 of 25J ET is the young female we want at the center of the mating chalkboard. Not simply because she carries the Lassie name, but because she gives us room to breed cattle in several useful directions without first having to repair something. She is moderate and efficient in her scale, deep and square through her body, sound on the move and distinctly feminine. Her genetic profile follows the same pattern: calving ease and Stayability, breed-improving pounds, maternal strength and carcass value are held together without one coming at the expense of another. Those are the safeguards that allow a donor to create cattle for more than one market.

Her pedigree connects the power and reach of Waukaru Lassie 2024 with the disciplined, profit-minded genetics of Gilman’s Liberty Valance 25J. The result is not a replica of 2024, but a daughter shaped for the next set of decisions. We can mate 2362 to proven maternal cattle, fresh calving-ease-to-carcass lines, or complementary outcrosses and still keep the same destination in view: sound, right-sized Shorthorns that calve, grow, breed back and leave value behind. That is why she now leads the female and embryo work at Bowman Superior Genetics and McKenzie Ranch. Liberty Lassie does not narrow our programs toward one strong advantage; she expands what the programs can make through a multitude of outcross options.

A sincere Thank You to Bruce Everhart for inviting Phillip and Luke to tour Everhart Herefords ahead of this weekend’s open house.

Bruce was a tremendous host, taking the time to walk us through the cattle and explain the breeding decisions behind them. His attention to detail was evident throughout an exceptional set of show-quality heifers, productive cows and exciting sire prospects. Of course, the trip would not have been complete without scoping out Longest Yard!

What impressed us most was Bruce’s commitment to producing cattle that balance all the demands of modern beef production: maintaining the phenotype desired here in Indiana, producing cattle that rank highly for the EPDs and indexes the industry demands, and doing it all with cows that aren’t going to eat you out of house and home. Bruce’s breeding philosophy and ours at BSG are awfully similar.

As a past president of the American Hereford Association, Bruce has given a great deal to the Hereford breed, and that same dedication is evident throughout his program there west of Waldron. We wish Bruce and the entire Everhart family all the best this weekend. We know their open house will be a smashing success!
