The young sires owned by Flatness International, Inc. are part of our Crown Jewel Collection, and have achieved NAAB "S" code stud-sampled status. No syndicates or partnerships.... to insure unbiased sampling. 0f the bulls proven so far, 90% were plus proven upon graduation (however all bulls are minus proven in time)...for high component production and type!
