Delmonico is a proud, easy fleshing, long bodied, soft made, deep ribbed bull with balanced performance and end-product merit.  He is an attractive bull with excellent structure, hoof shape and depth of heel.  We purchased Delmonico as a coming three year-old, and one of his greatest assets were his feet that had never been trimmed.  His added muscle expression, depth of rib and extra volume distinguishes him among the current field of Discovery sons.

Like his dam, Delmonico is very docile and easy to work with.  Gwen Livingston (2 years old) loves petting Delmonico.

Delmonico’s dam, 1104M, is a gorgeous mother cow with a beautiful balanced udder with small teats.  She has raised three natural heifer calves that are retained in the herd at MB Genetics with an adjusted average weaning weight slightly over 700 pounds.  She has produced three ET bull calves with an adjusted average weaning weight of 753 pounds. 1104M scanned an individual 6.7% IMF and her first daughter by Connealy Confidence scanned over 8.6% for IMF to give Delmonico a family heritage of added carcass merit.

Delmonico’s individual performance mirrors his genetic evaluation arriving with an adjusted birth weight of 83 pounds, weaning at an adjusted weight of 864 pounds and reaching an adjusted yearling weight of 1,632 pounds.  He was used as a long yearling on virgin heifers, with his first very docile progeny born unassisted and vigorous.  Birth weights were in the very acceptable 80 pound range followed by his own rapid growth rate.

Our first Delmonico progeny will be offered in our February 4, 2020 sale, including the #1 adjusted weaning weight bull from Delmonico’s first calf crop at 867 pounds!  We are very pleased with Delmonico’s first calves.
