Black Icon progeny have set new standards for Purebred black Braunvieh sales, shows and in carcass contests.   The progeny average 83 pounds at birth on bull & heifer calves "Black & Polled" Gestation has been 272 to 282 days from Fullblood & Purebred Donor's..    You can safely use him on first calf heifers.  He works beautiful on angus too!  They are thick and he adds milk.  Plus he gives them a great disposition.   We are using Black Icon daughters exclusively in the Club Calf Program.  TLCC Turk  goes back to a Black Icon daughter named TLC Black Bev K2386.  She is the Dam of Donor TLC Whoa Girl N3100 Turk's dam.
