3C's D15 OF JB CLASSIC SMITH HB008604
D15 - Our primary herd sire is a son of JO Bull Classic Smith 2008.
D15 is an Approved Herd Sire in ABHA - HB free, NH free, IE free, DD free, MSUD free and is HOMOBLACK.
We were most fortunate to obtain a bull with his background and with such promise locally. We have been using D15 since we purchased him from Triple C in 2017. He is producing very eye-pleasing calves with plenty of 'Black' color.
Note: we have sold D15 to Peter Wiggett but we will still be seeing some of his offspring next year.
D15's oldest daughter has a bull calf from JN Balder D403 born January 16, 2020. JK JN-D403 Balder 2003 is now offered for sale-see details on For Sale page.

3C's D15 OF JB CLASSIC SMITH HB008604
3C's D15 OF JB CLASSIC SMITH HB008604
We selected this Artificial Insemination sire based upon a number of criteria.
He was heavily promoted by J&N , has been used extensively world wide and has excellent eye appeal. Our breeding was concluded in April 2019.
Three calves from three AI's arrived in January 2020:
JK D403 Baldee 1705-2002
JK JN-D403 Balder 2003
Note that 2003 is available on the For Sale page.
JK JN-D403 Balder 2004.
Both Bull Calves qualify as Approved Herd Sires in ABHA based upon recent testing.
The 2004 Bull calf is from a F1 dam and is unrelated to our 3C's D15 of JB Classic Smith 2008 daughters; therefore, he should be an excellent out cross for them. (See Picture Below)

3C's D15 OF JB CLASSIC SMITH HB008604
JO DARK VADAR 7B ET HB010939 via AI
Quoting from the JO Bulls site: 'Vadar has the growth of his sire Lightning with the maternal power of Black Jack’s dam. He weaned off at 820 lbs., and had a yearling weight of 1,255 lbs. This half brother to Black Jack is thick everywhere. He will add pigment, growth, and maternal power. AM, DD, IE, NH, and MSUD Free HOMOPOLLED and HOMOBLACK!'
We anticipate that his calves will be real crowd pleasers and the fact that JO Bulls is high on him is a plus.

JN BULLSEYE JO D411 HB009182 via ET from JO Bulls
Black Jack has an exceptional history at JO Bulls and our anticipation is
that he should be ideal for our young D15 daughters.
Quoting from the JO Bulls site 'Black Jack is the real deal. He is homozygous black and homozygous polled and is a purebred (87.5%).
His dam is awesome and comes from one of our best cow families.
We have never used a bull as heavily as we are using Black Jack.

JN BULLSEYE JO D411 HB009182 via ET from JO Bulls
We obtained two D411/700 embryos.
Quoting from the JO Bulls site: 'JN BULLSEYE JO D411 is the top genetics in the ABHA. He is the highest selling bull in the ABHA history ($19,000 for 3/4 Interest). He combines the proven Hereford lines of Ribeye and Harland, with 9405 and 8079. He is thick. long, and has excellent calving ease. His first calf crop averaged 68 lbs. AM, DD, DL, HY, IE, NH, and MSUD FREE HOMOBLACK!'
The dam for the embryos is JO 344 BLACK SUGAR 700 ET HB010944 .
700 is an outstanding daughter of JO FINAL ANSWER TUNDRA 344 HB005815. 344 is a favorite of JO Bulls and the future of 700 is extremely bright.
This is our first experience with embryo transplantation and we are very eager to see the results. One Transplant failed but the second one was implanted in JK A139 Baldy 0902-1705 on July 23, 2020.
Examined safe August 20, 2020

Future Herd sire
JK JN-D403 Balder 2004-HB016648 67.5% Birth Date Jan 19, 2020
We are pleased to introduce our next herd sire - photo taken in July 2020.
2004 qualifies as an Approved Herd Sire and is HOMOPOLLED in ABHA based upon recent testing.
The 2004 Bull calf is from JN Balder D403 and JK A139 Baldy 0902-1706 NR3554 and is unrelated to our 3C's D15 of JB Classic Smith 2008 daughters. He should be an excellent out cross for them. You will also note that the dam of 2004 traces back to Vindicator on the Red Hereford side. We are anticipating that 2004 will be a worthy future replacement for our current D15 herd sire.
Adjusted Weaning Weight 580
