1 Braunvieh Semen Directory

2 Route 1, Box 39 Firth, Nebraska It is a great privilege to introduce this semen catalog to you. By researching such things as feed efficiency, carcass quality, calving ease and performance, we can, with the utmost confidence, bring you a select group of sires that will give you a genetic edge. We have spent countless hours to bring you a group of sires that not only work on the range, but dominate in the feedlot, if you are looking for the most net return for your dollar. Every bull pictured in this catalog has been used in the pasture the same year prior to taking these pictures. Therefore, you know that the natural muscling and volume that these bulls display is bred on instead of fed on. The genetics offered in this catalog will help your program meet the beef industry s coming needs to compete in a very competitive market. If you would like further assistance, please feel free to contact us at Golden Link Braunvieh anytime. Thank you. Harlan Jr. Harlan Doeschot (402) Harlan Doeschot, Jr. (402) Jon Immink (402) FAX (402) Braunvieh commercial females make excellent low-maintenance cows on the range and their calves have a better net return than other crossed breeds.
