Test #64 Final Weight Report

March 16, 2005

TO: Kansas Bull Test Consignors and Guests:

FROM: Lori Schmitt, H.M. Schmitt, Inc.


We have a very nice set of bulls in Test #64. Regardless of breed, the consignors should be extremely proud of the bulls they have put on test. The sale will be 11:30 a.m., April 6, 2005, at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds in Beloit, KS. Bulls that are eligible for the sale have been marked with an “ XX.”.

We have changed the lay out of the final report for ease of looking at all of the bulls data together on one sheet. We welcome any feed back on this , and if have questions please call us.

Cattle were scanned for ribeye area, marbling and backfat and that information is enclosed. This year we utilized CUP Ultrasound technology and Ultra Insights, so we are reporting % IMF instead of marbling. The first round of breeding soundness exams have been completed. Only bulls that have qualified for the sale will be tested; unless prior arrangements have been made.

The Kansas Bull Test website is up and running. Our address is www.oznet.ksu.edu/pr_bull
