Amanda — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:39:06 +0000

The newly acquired Whitestone Black Arrow Z101 is possibly the best young herd sire in Billings, Montana at the Genex facility according to Tom Burke with the American Angus Hall of Fame. He is jointly owned by Tanner Farms and Whitestone Farm and other members of an investment group. This promising herd sire is residing at the Genex facility and they are handling the semen services for him. Tanner Farms this past week had their first calves sired by Whitestone Black Arrow. We are excited about this great herd sire prospect and look forward to the future progeny he will produce. The calves that were born this week look exceptional. If you are interested in purchasing semen, contact Genex.
