We think this bull has as much true potential as any we have ever promoted!! We can talk about him over and over but honestly it all boils down to this…quality, consistency and performance is what sets him apart from most!! This is a sire who will more than likely generate you a profit no matter what way you breed him because he is so universal!!

Thank you to the over 50 breeders from numerous states who have put in semen orders so far as well as ABS Global for your large order today!! Contact any of the owners to get on the list!!

Behind The Scenes!!

Here is some behind the scenes photos and video of Made 4 This from being clipped the night before picture day and then also after being fit for his promotional photo!! Study his foot size and shape, the way his neck comes out of the top side of his shoulder, ideal length of body and square pinned build through his hip and his overall ability to proportion correctly!! This bull has the skeletal and structural integrity we all try so hard to achieve!! When you add all of this up with his genetic makeup it’s a combination that reads to be extremely potent and valuable to generating offspring that can be created on a wide variety of matings!! Like we said before, not all bulls are created equal…some are just Made 4 This!!

There are some livestock that just look good no matter what angle you view them or how they stop…Made 4 This is definitely one of those individuals!! We also wanted to highlight just a few of the maternal sibs to him that have not only been high sellers but have gone on to win major show titles!! There are a lot of new bulls to try every year but the decisions become much easier when you put consistency and quality of genetics as a priority!! Stay tuned for more behind the scenes footage and a full video coming soon!!

Introducing New For 2021 Sire “Made 4 This”

Sire: Made 2 Order

Dam: Smilin Queen (Eagle Scout x Sennett’s Smilin Bob)

BD: March 10/20

BW: 78 lbs

TH & PHA FREE

15.38% Chi

Reg #404626

Where do we even start!! When we set out to select new sires every year there is a lot of criteria we strive to pursue. Structural integrity has always been the number one priority and this bull is built as close to perfect as you can make one in that department!! The importance of being backed by a cow that has consistently produced offspring that have been high quality and valuable is also something we take very seriously because in this day an age “one hit wonder” just doesn’t cut it. The Smilin Queen donor from Drew Miller in 3 calf crops with only 23 calves out of 4 different sires has grossed $308,500 in sales making the average value of her calves $13,413…you do the math, those are genetics that can be trusted!! His sire Made 2 Order has proven himself as a potent herd sire raising champions at the highest level with a limited semen availability due to his untimely passing. We have had as much success as anyone in the industry with Made 2 Order sired offspring and we feel that this bull truthfully is the closest replication of build, look and structure to his father that we have EVER seen!! Double clean and 15.38% Chi makes him extremely versatile to make steers in a club calf program or elite show heifers!! His power and performance is impressive especially when you add the amount of look he has into the equation. It’s hard to make one that striking from the side that doesn’t disappoint from behind!! Bringing you the best bulls we can in this business is important. This is the kind of sire we guarantee is extremely high quality and will breed with a level of integrity that comes from a solid foundation of genetics.

World Record!!

Shared from The Showtimes Magazine:

New Showtimes World Record for most people in a backdrop photo goes to the Friends and Family of Noah Cox at 191.

In the fall of 2016 we sold a steer to the Cox family of Ohio. Their son Noah showed him through the 2017 winter jackpot season up until Ohio Beef Expo in March. On May 13, 2017 he passed away in a tragic farming accident at the age of 18…his senior year of eligibility to show. After his passing one of his close friends made the commitment to continue working on Noah’s steer through the summer and was allowed to show him at the state fair and then also the week after at the Athens County Fair where he was named Grand Champion Market Animal. The steer sold that afternoon for a record breaking $67,000 with even more donations coming in afterwards. This is the backdrop photo that was taken with all of the people who donated to the purchase of the steer from the sale of champions that night at the fair. It was quite a remarkable story how the community and family and friends all came together in support of a young man who was lost far too soon. I saw the world record post you guys made today and thought about this photo and what it meant to the Cox family and thought I would share it with you guys! – Raymond Gonnet (Competitive Edge Genetics)
