“sMcK Childers ET”
Lot 7 - 2024 OKC Summit Sale
50% Shorthorn Plus Bull
Conley No Limit x “BOWL Lady Legacy”

We’ve had a lot of fun these past few years with these plus bulls and Childers is no exception. Named the Champion Shorthorn Plus Bull at the 2023 MI State Fair and Reserve Champion Shorthorn Plus Bull at the 2023 World Beef Expo, Childers will be a great addition to someone’s program! We have sold a full sib bull privately last spring, we’ve sold a maternal sib bull in the 2022 Summit Sale and we are still using the OG maternal sib “sMcK Jameson” bull in our own operation.

The day we get a female calf from the donor dam “Lady”, it will be one that we will celebrate on the home front but til then, enjoy our plus bull contributions!

**sMcK Jameson semen will sell in 2024 OKC Summit Sale as well**
