Afflictions make cows!!

Now the best part, all 3 were named champions!! Isn't that what your looking for in a maternal sire? Champions as a show heifer and champions as a cow. A top end of Affliction bred heifers sell November 25th at Holtkamp Cattle. And also the best Affliction show heifer we raised to date sells in a few weeks in our September 17th sale.
