The Record of Bulls by Elmplace Pride U367 and by Elmplace Queen U517 Record Breaking Weight per Day of Age (WDA) 4.52 lbs per day on Elmplace Valedictorian U284 - Dam U517 A quick look at the top gain production records of two Elmplace cows that are now in the 2K 'Angus' Cattle Enterprises' cowherd at Glen Haven, WI. Elmplace Pride U367 and Elmplace Queen U517. On 3-26-92, Elmplace Pride U367 produced Elmplace Valedictorian U82; Adj. 205 Day Wt 748 lbs., 121 DAY TEST ADG 5.45 lbs., WDA 4.22 lbs., up to that time Elmplace Pride U367 had already produced several bulls that gained over 5 ADG lbs., on 120 day tests with Adjusted yearly weight averages over 1600 lbs. These bulls were officially weighed ON & OFF the TESTS by the Local Vo-Tech or Extension Agents. Elmplace Queen U517 was bred to Elmplace Valedictorian U82 and produced on 5-26-94, Elmplace Valedictorian U284; BW 87 lbs., Adj. 205 day weight 852 lbs., (Weight Per Day of Age) WDA 4.52, U284 broke an unbelievable 4.5 lb WDA barrier; and on a long 131 day feedlot gain test ADG 5 lbs; Adj. yearling weight 1652 lbs.; that test period was 31 days longer than this year's WBIA 100 day Test Station at Platteville, WI. Shorter ADG test periods usually provide a higher ADG; at 60 days U284's ADG was 5.75 lbs. daily gain and a projected yearling weight of 1772. When we ran out of ground ear corn his, and the other bulls daily gains on just shelled corn dropped as they went off feed. U284 was not an 8 frame bull, from calf-hood on he was a medium, around a 6.5 frame bull, with a trim body and loaded with red meat in the right places. Angus bulls with this type of genetic base will cross well on most other beef breeds, and the packer buyer's ought to like their Grade & Yield!

U284's 12-2-94 WDA at the start of the test, and it was a surprising 4.18 lbs. per day; he was born in our upper pasture which we checked daily during the calving season, and I helped my brother, Don Udelhoven check his birth weight. This calf was given no advantages over our other calves, he simply outperformed them in the Weight Per Day of Age Trait! Elmplace Queen U517 is by Elmplace Franco U471, his Dam was Elmplace Pride U346. U517's dam was Elmplace Queen U31, a very good producing cow by Jauer Band 105 561 77, her Dam was Elmplace Queen U179; the Elmplace Pride's, Queen's and Blackbird strains go back to the original three cows bought by Ray Udelhoven & Sons in 1943. (Elmplace Angus was originally called Angus Acres as shows in the early registrations.)
