Thus, like we’ve done in recently, we thought it would be helpful to share progeny reports from the folks who do what you do every single day. Please let us know if this aids in your genetic decision-making. Here are four Angus sires that are underutilized in the business.
29AN2318 BLACK LABEL
Our first top Angus bull to highlight is none other than the highly demand MAN IN BLACK son, BLACK LABEL. He is the encore to his famous sire and combines that with a really good cow family who is no stranger to the breed—the Basin Joy family. With BLACK LABEL, you’ll get a really good pedigree with the same power, growth, and performance that you find in MAN IN BLACK. Beyond that, you’ll can a tick more Calving Ease and get to moderate birth weight just a bit. Que AC/DC. ‘Cause we’re back in black with BLACK LABEL.
29AN2321 MASTERCRAFT
MASTERCRAFT is our next top Angus bull. To start the discussion, let’s go back to his sire, Connealy Craftsman, who was one of the heaviest used bulls in the business over the last couple of years. After Craftsman’s first calf crop, there were things identified that you’d like to change about those cattle. Thus, we found MASTERCRAFT who offers more depth and spring of rib and a fuller heart girth and maintains the muscle, shape, and everything else we were after in his sire. When you see him, you’ll notice his powerful hind quarter, tons of rib shape, and a commanding presence. For master craftsmanship from pasture to plate, use MASTERCRAFT.
29AN2303 GROUND BREAKER
Perfect blend of elite, top-end $Maternal and top 1% $Combined indexes backed by power, dimension and phenotypic quality describes are next top Angus bull. GROUND BREAKER offers more hip, top, and shape than just about any other Breakthrough sons in the business in a more moderate package. Looking at the data, he is big time for growth, spread, marbling, and ribeye. Not to mention, his donor dam is Deer Valley Blackbird 8768 who has a $400,000 valuation today with over $600,000 in progeny receipts from around the nation. Get groundbreaking power and performance with GROUND BREAKER.
29AN2311 PROMOTION
Our final top Angus bull is a high $Combined ($C) bull with an abundance of body and depth. PROMOTION is just a different type and kind of bull for the level of $C he offers. He is a middle to moderate frame bull that makes up for the difference in body, depth, softness, and depth of flank. PROMOTION is a rare combination of exceptional $Combined, very useful Calving Ease, Docility, and Foot Quality figures, and a powerful phenotype. Promote your herd to executive level with PROMOTION.
