Youngest bull in the pen and he is a Homo Black and Homo Polled heifer bull
with a balanced set of EPDs. Out of a Basin Payweight Plus fi rst-calf heifer who
bred back a cycle earlier this year and is due 2/12 with a heifer calf.
Watch for the GeneSeek GGP LD logo, signifying the bull has been
DNA tested and his EPDs are genomically enhanced, increasing the
accuracy of the EPD values.
DNA testing also verifi es parentage and tests for homozygous black and homozygous polled traits.
