PHARO CATTLE COMPANY CHEYENNE WELLS, COLORADO February 2016 PHONE 1-800-311-0995 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————– Helping you is our business — and we take it very seriously. Your Semen Source If you are serious about reducing frame and cow size, and if you are serious about increasing thickness and fleshing ability, and if you are serious about calving ease and cow efficiency, then you have come to the right place. Our goal is to provide the genetics that will help you minimize expenses and maximize profits. We may be your only source for this type of genetics. Moderate Size… What does it take to produce moderate sized cattle that are profitable on the ranch, as well as in the feedlot? It takes moderate sized bulls. Contrary to popular opinion, it’s impossible to produce an efficient, easy-fleshing, 1100-pound cow with bulls that are over a 4 frame score. Although I’ve seen some 6-frame cows that only weigh 1100 pounds, it’s not a pretty sight. They are tall, thin, gutless cows that are very frail looking. Many people mistakenly believe any cow under a 5 frame is a dwarf or a miniature. They’re wrong! Just for the Frame Mature Cow Mature Bull fun of it we challenge you to take a tape measure and see Score Hip Height Hip Height how tall 48 or 50 inches really is. You will discover that 3 2 46 50 and 4 frame cows are not really as small as you thought they 3 48 52 were. When you add some thickness and fleshing ability to 4 50 54 a smaller framed cow you have a package that is without 5 52 56 equal. Our 3 and 4 frame cows weigh 1100 to 1250 6 54 58 pounds. That is big enough! . . Calving Ease and Fertility… I f you are concerned about profitability, then calving ease and fertility are the two most important traits you should be selecting for. It doesn’t matter how much growth potential a calf has if it is born dead. Dead calves have distressingly low weaning weights. Likewise, open cows produce zilch in the way of weaning weights. True fertility is more a function of low maintenance requirements and body condition (fleshing ability) than anything else. Maintenance requirements must be met before any weight gain (improved body condition) or reproduction can take place. Available Sires… Over the years we have acquired and produced some outstanding low-maintenance, moderate-sized bulls with thickness and fleshing ability. Calving ease has always been our specialty. You can choose from Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, Tarentaise and Composite bulls. We also have three Lowline bulls — two black and one red — and a Mashona bull in our lineup. We have 57 bulls to choose from — with bulls to fit every budget. Quantity Discounts are available, except on bulls with a “limited” inventory.

We flushed his dam at 14 years of age. Colfax sold in our 2006 Fall Bull Sale — and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to buy him back in 2009. He worked in a PCC Composite cowherd in Nebraska until he was injured in 2014. Tarentaise is a Continental br eed that or iginated in the Fr ench Alps. They ar e noted for their fertility, milk production. meat-to-bone ratio and udder conformation. Compared to the British breeds, Tarentaise have a higher growth rate, higher milk production and produce a leaner carcass. Compared to most of the other Continental breeds, they excel in calving ease and fertility, while having a smaller mature size. Tarentaise is the most moderate-sized exotic breed that we know of. We no longer produce many purebred Tarentaise. However, they continue to provide the foundation for most of our composite cattle. Our Composite cattle were designed to provide the right genetic combination to fit our environment, as well as our production goals. They are 25 to 50 percent Tarentaise, 25 to 75 percent Red or Black Angus, and 0 to 25 percent Hereford. They can be red or black in color. Our Composite cows have the ability to wean our heaviest calves while holding their condition and rebreeding. Why Composites? Cr ossbr ed cattle have always been much mor e efficient than str aightbred cattle, but most crossbreeding systems are complicated and frustrating. They require too many breeding pastures, too many different breeds of bulls and too much time and management. Traditional crossbreeding also produces a lack of uniformity in calf size, cow size, muscling and milk production since several different breeds of bulls are used. Composite bulls provide you with all the advantages of breed complementarity and hybrid vigor without all the problems associated with the typical crossbreeding system. Instead of using several different breeds of bulls you can use composite bulls to achieve the same results. You would not have to individually identify and sort cows into different breeding pastures to be bred by different breeds of bulls. In fact, you could run all of your cows in one herd with one set of composite bulls. This makes a rotational grazing system possible. 34 COMPOSITE Johnny B Good NEW Tallahassee Birth Date: 5/17/12 Description: Red/Polled (50% AR; 50% TA) Sire: PCC J ohnny B Good Mat.

The breed was developed under natural selection without any external inputs for thousands of years in an extremely harsh and unforgiving environment. Mashona cattle have very low maintenance requirements. They are very fertile and easy fleshing. They are highly mobile grazers that have the ability to browse. They have early carcass maturity and finish well on grass. Mashona excel in hot and/or humid environments with low-quality forages. They work well on endophyte infected fescue. They have a very high resistance to parasites and disease. Best of all, Mashona is a Bos taurus breed. They are much smaller and much more fertile than Bos indicus (Brahman) cattle. Pharo Cattle Company plans to use the Mashona breed to create a Heat-Tolerant Composite that has more fertility and efficiency than the Brahman crosses. At this point, the Mashona 337 bull is the best we have found. 37
