Bar JZ Tradition 434V is a sire whose positive influence on the Hereford breed becomes more evident with the passage of time. We have known for several years that he could produce outstanding females, and now that is even more obvious. KFF Perfect Miss, a daughter, sold for $20,000 in the Klippenstein Family Farm sale, and her bull calf sold for $50,000. The second high selling female in the sale was also a 434 daughter. Another daughter, S&S Vickie 498C produced a heifer that was grand champion at the National Western in Denver, and then came back to be the Grand Champion Cow/Calf at the American Royal and in Louisville. Her bull calf was Reserve Grand Champion Bull at both shows plus a national class winner. 434V sired a class winner in Denver 2000. A 434V son sold in Gerber's 2001 sale for $11,000. 434V will produce daughters with correct udders, superior milk production, and eye appealing conformation. His sons will be the kind that are easy to sell. 434V is owned by Bar JZ Polled Herefords, Klippenstein Family Farm, Yoricka Farm Inc., and Gerber Polled Herefords.
