DEFOREST, WISCONSIN – November 3, 2009 – As an emerging leader in Brangus genetics, ABS Global has announced the availability of the world’s first sex-sorted Brangus genetics. Included in the product offering are 29BN0018 CRC SPECIALIST 392T2 and 29BN0020 CR HOMBRE 541T3 as both excel in fertility, phenotype and performance.
“With well over a dozen beef sires available globally, ABS has the most diverse sex-sorted semen offering in the industry,” stated Doug Frank, Beef Product Manager. “Since beginning to market ABS Sexation® nearly four years ago, ABS has worked to create a strong global line-up including the recent addition of our Brangus sires. These sires possess high-caliber pedigrees and are the most sought-after genetics around the world.”
Dwight Williams, ABS Director of Beef Enterprise added, “The continuous growth in demand for ABS Sexation semen is a testament to the confidence global cattle producers place in our strong brand and diverse product offering. Sex-sorted semen is revolutionizing the industry as beef producers continue to reap the benefits of precise control, and ABS is committed to meeting the growing demand.”
SPECIALIST is a solid calving ease bull that delivers excellent muscle, carcass traits and outstanding phenotype. He looks to be one of the most consistent Brangus bulls available today. He is a no-miss low birth weight sire with a -6.5 BW EPD out of the #1 cow in the breed for low BW.
HOMBRE was selected from the Cavendar Ranch 2008 production sale because of his outstanding performance and soundness. Backed by the legendary 416E cow and 541 cow family, HOMBRE has an additive growth advantage combined with a moderate maturity pattern. He ranks in the breed’s top one percent for weaning weight, top two percent for yearling weight and top three percent for scrotal circumference. Both bulls are jointly owned with Southern Cattle Company of Marianna, Florida.
The ABS Brangus sire line-up has been established to provide cattlemen a choice for environmentally adapted genetics. These sires have been selected for docility, maternal strength, muscle, carcass value and soundness. Particular emphasis has been made to build a strong calving ease line-up. With the addition of Brangus bulls to the ABS Sexation inventory, cattlemen around the world will be able to utilize these sires to add value and performance to their replacement female groups.
