Western Union

PFI Western Union was our choice for a herd sire when we were looking for a bull that was an out cross to many of our genetics. His impressive genetic growth potential was something that we were very excited about.

 We purchased him in January 2007 at the National Braunvieh Sale held in Ft Worth, brought him home cut out his nose ring and put him right to work. He had a chance at being show bull of the year after all of the hard work Brinks Livestock had put in displaying and showing him but we are in the breeding business. He has not disappointed us yet. His great disposition has been a real added plus. We recommend him for use on mature cows, we have had no assisted births from him to date.

 Semen is available for the commercial person at $10 per straw with a certificate fee if the animal is registered. Check out our semen tank for all of our semen listings.  CLICK HERE FOR HIS EPDS.

 

 This is a division winner for Shelby Rod in San Antonio in 2009 out of Western Union and a Polled Apache daughter that has been doing a great job for us for many years.

 We have lots of progeny well represented in the show ring by exceptional people like Shelby. This was her second BOR show heifer choice from us. Her first choice was Reserve Grand in the 2009 San Antonio Junior show. She has a great eye for heifers and sure knows how to put them together and will be a force in the Braunvieh show ring for years to come. Thank you to the whole Rod family and Shelby for having faith in and using Broken Oak Genetics.

 Western Union is producing this kind of female replacement on a regular basis.
