Red Angus Yearling Bulls Red Hill Farms – 2018
Red Hill Red Angus Spring Yearling Bulls
The bulls were developed on a high-roughage haylage based ration with a goal of the bulls gaining
2.25 pounds per day. Yearling weights, ultrasound data, and height measurements were taken on
January 22, 2018. Scrotal measurements and BSEs were performed by Dr. Chad Shaw on Feb-
ruary 13, 2018, and the scrotal measurements printed are actual measurements from that date.
Many of these bulls have grown 1 to 2 centimeters since their January yearling measurements.

The data drives this guy to the spring yearling leadoff position. His indexes are among the top in the Red Angus database.
His dam, X072, is a very moderate-framed cow with a nice udder. X072 is also the dam of our herdsire 69B that sold in
2015 to Brad Grill Family (SD). We have also kept 5 daughters of X072 in our herd.
“I encourage producers to think about bulls more as an investment rather than as
an expense. Think about what you can invest economically, relative to what that
investment can return. The biggest mistake I believe cow-calf producers can make is
not investing in a good bull.”
