2018 – Red Hill Farms Cross-Ty Yearling Bulls
Red Hill Cross-Ty Bull
There is good reason this program is going to be called Cross-TY. Ty Jones is involved in every-
thing we do at Red Hill, and he is adventurous. He has heard so much positive family discussion
about crossbreeding and hybrid vigor that he is totally sold on providing Red Hill customers with
the opportunity to reap the economic advantages gained from crossbreeding.
Ty has also observed the tremendous performance advantages of crossbred pigs compared
to purebreds. We will continue to identify cattle from other breeds that adapt to the fescue
environment and management scheme at Red Hill. The reason for these experimental efforts is
to identify breeds that can be used to provide more opportunities to increase the profi tability of
our customers. These new genetics are likely to be made available as hybrids or composites;
however, we will not rule out the use of one or two other pure breeds in the future.

We have an unbelievable specimen to start our Cross-Ty bulls. This calf is out of one of Ty’s Red Angus cows and sired
by Ledger. We identifi ed Ledger by evaluating the Charolais database and fi nding he was a breed leader in most every
trait except fat – and we like that as we believe we need more fat to make the cows reproductive in our environment. After
visiting the Lindskov-Thiel Ranch, we were more convinced about Ledger’s value in the beef business. Lot 57 has an
amazing phenotype and is above average for performance measures.
