have dedicated ourselves to developing pasture ready bulls out of industry proven genetics the “right” way. Our Grown On GrassTM program is a proven process for testing fescue tolerance, har- diness, and overall durability. Bulls that make it through this process are ready to go to work im- mediately during their first breeding season and are free of all the health & soundness problems associated with feedlot tested bulls. I could con- tinue telling you about our exciting program, but I will let our customers do the job! “Over the last couple years, I have purchased over a half dozen bulls from Flying H Genetics. I

lying H Genetics is a leading supplier of Sim- mental, SimAngus, Balancer, Gelbvieh, & Angus genetics throughout the Midwest. We
have been very satisfied with the calving ease and growth of my calves from these bulls. As a Missouri cattleman, I like how these bulls are developed on fescue and can maintain themselves through the breeding seasons without falling apart. Also, their customer service is top notch. I know that if I am in the middle of a breeding season and I have a prob- lem with a bull or need a quick replacement, they will take care of me.” Randy Steckly West Central Missouri Cowman “The Grown On Grass bulls I purchased last
spring held their condition remarkably well for yearling bulls and worked hard enough to get every cow I put them on bred. In fact, they worked so well, I purchased a handful more last fall. I am also

are moving in, school enrollment has increased for the first time since 2000 (after a 34 percent loss in student population), more jobs are available and in- come has increased. In his testimony, Fluharty also highlighted another
positive rural initiative, which demonstrates the type of regional approach championed by Agriculture Sec- retary Tom Vilsack. “Seventeen counties in southeast Kansas recently
formed a regional initiative, designed to create a new framework for economic development there. With support from Governor Brownback, four state sena- tors representing those counties, county and munic-
ipal officials, and a diverse set of private and not-for- profit organizations and institutions, a new future is being envisioned, aligning federal, state, and local in- vestments, contributions from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors, and strong support from state, regional, and community colleges and univer- sities, as well as the private sector,” he noted. Despite the fact that more individuals are starting
to focus on a new safety net for small towns and rural communities, Fluharty insists that much more work is needed. “Regional and community foundations are doing
excellent work” in seeking to fill the many of the gaps that exist in providing funds for rural development,” emphasized Fluharty. “But the gap remains, and it is vast.”

Harvest weight averaged 1502 pounds, because they were age and source verified and destined for the Japanese market without over weight discounts. They produced the following data:” ADG – FE –
