History of The Elite Heifer Program

The Bourbon County Elite Heifer Program was formed in 1991 to provide a consistent, reliable source of beef herd replacement females. Rigid standards have been implemented and adhered to assuring that consigned heifers are reproductively sound with more than adequate frame and muscle.

Pelvic measurements and reproductive tract scores along with minimum weights for breed types form the basis of qualification. Estrus synchronization in conjunction with artificial insemination and natural service of sires with approved EPD's for birth weight give added value to heifers offered in the Elite Bred Heifer Sale.

The results have been that buyer demand has grown each sale. Satisfied customers have returned to Paris year after year on the first Monday in November to purchase replacement females because they have confidence in the Elite Heifer Program and the people behind it.
