            GENETICS 
                 
                In 
                order to achieve optimum genetics for the cow herd, they use a 
                well-managed breeding program that includes artificial insemination. 
                Between January and March their Maine-Anjou and Angus cows will 
                calve, with the top offspring selected for fall stock shows. Every 
                year bulls and replacement heifers are sold to other producers 
                as breeding stock.  
                 
                The Northern Bull Sale is their 
                annual sale which is going on into its 18th year. A small percentage 
                of the cattle are finished to market weight and sold directly 
                to consumers.
