4 Foreword Hill Springs Herefords was established in 1974 by Tom Pannett and has been aiming to breed big sound free moving cattle that have the traditional Hereford traits of fertility and efficiency. This means we provide productive Bulls for your herd that are fully performance recorded and with predictable traits. Since starting our annual sale in 1979, more top bulls have been introduced, among them the well performing Strathavon Squire, Braxton Banner 4, Koanui Giant 117, Hill Springs Riser 1st, Hill Springs Deliverance 22, Okawa Willis T98 and Hill Springs Deliverance Q41 - now a 5-way trait leader. All these bulls are used with one aim in mind of enhancing the herd of cows that produces the bulls for sale was a very exciting year for the Limehills herd. For the first time we sent a bull to Beef Expo and were very pleased the Limehills 655 was judged first and also made top prize for a bull in 2008 of $40,000. Following that we had a very good Annual Sale with a Limehills 680 making $26,000 and we sold 32 of 37 bulls also was pretty exciting with Limehills winning the Herd of Excellence Award for NZ Herefords, This award not only looked at our herd, but the overall farming enterprise and performance. This was a very heartening result for our cattle and hasn t changed our focus of supplying top commercial cattle at a reasonable price - $4000 in We have service tested bulls without a rating this year. Our policies farming practice means we continue to breed sound cattle with substance and a strong constitution that thrive in all conditions. 4 LIMEHILLS POLLED HEREFORD

6 Breedplan: EBV s Shorten the Odds Breeders using the new breedplan system of performance recording use an Estimated Breeding Value (EBV) to rank animals on different traits. Example: 200 Day Milk Group EBV s (kg) 200 Day (kg) Growth 400 Day (kg) Weight (Est) 600 Day (kg) Weight All bulls will have this information to help you with your sire selection depending on the goals you are looking to achieve. An EBV is based on an animal s own performance plus the performance of all known relative, sire, dam, half sisters, etc., as well as adjusting for environmental factors which effect actual growth rate. We have been fully performance recording since 1978 and this along with Breedplan we feel we can provide you with a detailed easy to understand aid in your Bull selection. 6 LIMEHILLS POLLED HEREFORD
