In 2017, Kittle Farms was certainly pleased to acquire KCF Miss Fortune U490, one of the most accomplished donor females in the history of the Gelbvieh breed. Miss Fortune was the record selling $20,000 female at the 2014 National Gelbvieh and Balancer Sale in Denver, Colorado.
 
Among her list of superlatives, Miss Fortune’s 2011 son, Bennett Y504, was the high selling bull in the 2012 Knoll Crest Farms Bull Sale and currently serves as the AI qualified resident Balancer herd sire at Knoll Crest Farms in Red House, Virginia. Miss Fortune followed with her 2012 son being the high selling Purebred Gelbvieh Bull to Flying H Genetics (Arapahoe, Nebraska) and Knoll Crest Farms in the 2013 Knoll Crest Farms Bull Sale.
 
Following her purchase by J&K Gelbvieh Farm, Inc. (Ava, Illinois) in the National Sale, Miss Fortune again delivered in the 2016 Genetic Power Bull Sale in Springfield, Missouri. At the Sale, a Miss Fortune son, JKGF New Horizon C51, was the high selling $29,000 Purebred
Gelbvieh Bull and six ET sons out of Miss Fortune averaged more than $11,000.
 
Miss Fortune U490 was well represented again in 2017 at the Genetic Power Bull Sale in Springfield, Missouri. Eleven (11) sons out of Miss Fortune sold for an average of $7,840 and a total of $86,250. Also, for the second straight year, a Miss Fortune son was the highest selling Bull overall, as JKGF Chief Justice C205 sold for a Sale Record $32,000.
 
Miss Fortune’s EPD profile is second to none, ranking top 2 percent for Weaning Weight, top 3 percent for Yearling Weight, top 1 percent for Total Maternal, top 4 percent for Marbling, and top 1 percent overall for Feeder Profit Index. Miss Fortune has also scanned an adjusted 0.11 for Fat Thickness (113.0 ratio), a 4.250 IMF (137.0 ratio), and a 0.150 for Rump Fat (160.0 ratio).
