As with any livestock breeder, we are always in search for the next step in improving our product. The endeavor to build a better beef animal leads us to find this extraordinary grandson of the famed Eionmor Marquis. Red Train is showing the remarkable combination of incredible performance in a moderate and sound package. His data and pedigree suggest that he should improve the next generation by adding muscle, fleshing ability, and unreal daily gain and efficiency, all in a frame 6, red, polled package. Although his birth weight number is higher than ideal, we will not limit his use on mature cows and expect his daughters to have the advantage of larger pelvises and therefore greater calving ease. Watch for his get in the fall of 2013 to be highlights of the next generation of great females offered from Hahn Farms.

We all know that there is both a real and perceived calving ease problem within our great breed of cattle. To that end, we have been trying to create cattle with more manageable birth weights and larger pelvic areas without sacrificing any of the breeds gains in muscularity and carcass efficiency. Greater documentation within our herd and genetic base has begun to develop more consistency and basic knowledge of how our cattle are going to respond in their environment. However, we still needed that one extra step to not only expand on these traits, but to present name recognition and validity to the unmatched importance of calving ease and calf mortality. What better way to achieve all these goals in one package than to purchase Prestige 0665 from Loving Farms. The Loving name ensures generations of cattle bred for real world practicality and function while the Proud Jazz lineage is industry accepted as a high quality Shorthorn calving ease option.

In the spring of 2010, we sold Gold Version to another breeder in Colorado, committed to leasing Frazier to a local commercial Red Angus breeder, and had a great fall and spring selling bulls.  These circumstances left us in a little bit of a bind as we did not have a bull that we could turn out and not worry about the consequences.  After admiring the look of a few bulls and researching their maternal function, it became obvious that we needed to at least inquire Loving Polled Shorthorns about the availability of a herd sire.  Marty and Scott picked out a young fall yearling they felt was suitable and we brought him east.  "Scotty", as he is affectionately called here especially by the high school hay baling help, proved himself a valuable breeding piece simply because of his ability to gain flesh while running with 35 cows through June to September.  He is a very flexible, great fronted young bull that we will be using on all our first calf heifers due to his calving ease data as well as first hand experience with his calves.  He will then be a valuable clean up bull as we begin to carefully incorporate our two newest young herd sires.  Perhaps his greatest attribute has been the growing friendship with the Loving family and the valuable cattleman's knowledge we have been fortunate to learn from these breed leaders.

Contender has been the centerpiece of our breeding program over the last few years and will remain so due to his daughters’ ability to maintain flesh, milk, and produce marketable offspring. He is also the first sire used here that we actually hope for sons. His bull calves are widely accepted for their masculinity, rugged construction, and profitable carcass traits. We will continue to feature Contender through AI and ET work and utilize his sons to further propagate his genetic ability. His genetics will only be available through his offspring. Semen is not for sale due to his death.

No Limits continues to be the maternal standard setter at Hahn Shorthorns despite being dropped himself in 1999.  His daughters are without question the best cows on the farm excelling in maternal function, fleshing ability, and structual soundness.  What remains incredible is his ability to transmit these traits so consistently without sacrificing look and balance all while proving to be homozygous polled.  No Limits was the 2000 Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Bull and Louisville class winner.  He has sired daughters that have been All-Americans, Louisville winners, Junior National Reserve Grand Champion Cow/Calf pair, and sale toppers.  No Limits continued to be a walking herd sire unitl 2008 when he was sold to another breeder.  Throughout all the work and years, he was never put on a foot trimming table and never had a case of foot rot.  We finally came back to our senses and after a couple years' absence, we have gone back and started to AI to the old bull to inject his great attributes into a new generation.
