CASH FLOW The Proven, Popular and Prepotent TMCK Cash Flow 247C now identifies as a Lim-Flex. While his percent blood may have reclassified him from a purebred to a Lim-Flex, you will have no trouble identifying which calves are his. With nearly 200 progeny registered with NALF in only two calf crops, he has proven the ability to sire fast-growing, performance-type cattle with pleasing phenotype. What’s more, his EPD profile is off the charts, offering single-digit percentile rankings in 7 traits. For a Lim-Flex sire who has proven to do it all, install the latest version of the new and improved Cash Flow in your breeding program. Owned with Tubmill Creek Farms, New Florence, PA

He stepped out on the green chips in Louisville as a calf and captivated the audience and was named reserve champion. He then came back 2 years later and literally dominated the field. This high percentage, 81%, Limousin bull is as good of one as there is in the country. Kings Landing is big footed, sound made and powerful in his stance. He is clean up through his front end, super deep bodied and capacious. His sire, MAGS Xyloid, deceased, has left a mark in the business as one of the go-to sires for the right kind of cattle. ELCX Kings Landing’s dam, WLR Prada, is one of the all-time great donors to exist in our business. She is a leading donor bred in the Wies program and owned in partnership with Shelby Skinner and Deb Vorthmann. She is a daughter of the triple crown winning bull, MAGSWL Usual Suspect and the great AUTO Rebeca 292S. The partners in this bull are offering a select few semen packages on this powerful beef bull. He is not on the open market and there are no plans for that to ever happen.
