Spring 2024 – Red Hill Farms Cross-Ty Bull
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 profitability 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.

315K exemplifies what we envisioned when we started the Cross-Ty program – heterosis in a moderate package. 315K
is sired by a South Poll bull that has sired successful progeny at Red Hill. 315K’s dam is sired by a South Devon bull,
and the maternal granddam is a Red SimAngus cow that is the mother of our Simmental herdsire 342F. 315K is a very
moderate framed bull that is ideal for producers wanting to keep cow maintenance costs to a minimum but still benefit
from heterosis.
