WCR Ms
Baneberry De We have decided to sell a set of embryos this year out of our recently purchased WCR Ms
3278A, dam Baneberry De 3278A (#1645736) and Crump Power Kind 7111 (#3714605). Ms Baneberry has
been a donor cow for Kal-Kota Ranch and we purchased her at their dispersion. Her offspring have
averaged $9,000 to date. She is a well-put-together cow that has tremendous length and power.
The sire to these embryos are out of our pick of Crump’s bull offering this past spring. He is an
excellent-structured, massive bull that will add frame, growth and structure while not giving up
the maternal and docility that we love about the Red Angus breed. He had a heavy weaning weight
and the highest yearling weight ever recorded at Crumps. He also scanned a massive 15.8 ribeye
area. These calves will be eye catchers!! Three embryos with a guarantee of one live pregnancy if
transplanted by certifi ed technician.
