It was an exciting day north of Rapid City at the 2nd Anniversary of the Amdahls’ new ranch head quarters. The Hereford bulls are of course a continuation of the Baker genetic line and haven’t strayed at all. The Angus bulls are coming from some of the top sires in the breed. All the bulls can boast a 3-5 pounds average daily gain on a mere high roughage mixed ration. They were in excellent sale condition and I think it’s a true testament to what the Amdahls are getting done genetically. Here is cream off the top:
