At Flying W Ranch we have strived to produce cattle that are fertile and productive since 1974. Our cattle remain productive in this tough West Texas country in good years and bad. They can travel in our big rocky pastures and stay in good flesh. Our goal is to produce bulls for our customers with light birth weights and high calving ease so they are trouble free. Our cattle are moderate ,easy fleshing and very gentle and beefy. Our females are feminine long bodied and attractive with great udders. We have had 54 cows achieve Maternal Merit status as well as 9 bulls with Maternal Sire awards. While we are proud of these achievements this was not something were trying to do but simply a result of our putting emphasis on fertility and production .
In the past 12 years we have put more effort in improving carcass quality . Using ultrasound we have identified our genetics to improve those traits. The past two years our females have averaged 4 imf. We I’ll continue to try and improve our carcass traits while never losing sight of fertility and production. Our bull offering in this sale would help any breeder concerned with those traits and be an asset in any herd registered or commercial .
Thank you, Steve Wilkins

DESCRIPTION: SRW MR. FLYING W 563/2
563/2 is the high indexing bull in the 2023 ABBA Bull Development program. 563 is sired by JTB HOLY SMOKES 1257 and is the second bull out of him to be high indexing bull in test. He also sired two different bulls who were the high selling bulls in the bull test sale. We bought Holy Smokes out of the first bull test sale in 2015 and he has certainly lived up to his promise at that time. The Dam of 563 = SRW MISS FLYING W 254 is a maternal merit cow with a 365 day calving interval with 5 calves including this year.
563 is a moderate well muscled bull with dark pigment . He is extremely gentle big ribbed and clean sheathed. Being the top indexing bull he did well in all traits . He was the top ranked bull for birth weight epd , third in the judges evaluation for phenotype and fifth in IMF rank. He is in the top 2 % for calving ease epd and top 5 % for birth weight epd in the breed. His marbling epd is 11.55 putting him in the top 2 % of breed . 563 will produce calves with low birth weight and vigor that will jump up and nurse . He will add carcass quality and produce feminine fertile females . It is hard to find Brahman bulls that will help all aspects of beef production but 563 can .
