With the spring beef breeding season rapidly approaching, it’s never too early to start thinking about your next breeding season. Make the most of your pre-breeding season time to ensure you have the genetics necessary to accomplish your operation’s goals. Our objective is to give you the tools, technology, and genetics you need to MAKE MATINGS WITH INTENT.
Your fellow beef producers can often provide input that is most valuable to you. For this reason, we compiled another list of progeny reports on a few bulls in our lineup. Today, we will highlight three top Angus bulls and one top Hereford bull. We hope this helps you make decisions for your next breeding season.
29AN2249 REPUBLIC
Last year marked the first year of having a large number of REPUBLIC progeny! Out of the gate, everyone was fascinated with him, because a bull with his degree of calving ease and birth weight where producers felt comfortable to mass-breed heifers to and still have so much mass, density, and thickness is kind of a unicorn. His progeny are the type of cattle that you love—body, plenty of capacity, boldness to their center body, soft-made, and moderate from a size standpoint. REPUBLIC seems to be a bull that has been well-rounded, easy to use, and at the better end of the Angus population for a BCHF score. Use this top Angus bull and get a cowboy’s REPUBLIC!
29AN2253 DIGNITY
Our next highlight is DIGNITY—the next step in the storied Sitz program! This top Angus bull captures people’s attention from a phenotype and muscularity standpoint. DIGNITY progeny that have been seen are consistent, muscular, offer a good degree of foot quality, and possess that true beef cattle kind. The easiest thing to spot is that the bulls look like bulls, and the heifers are very feminine and broody in their appearance. DIGNITY is a game changer for maternal design and several key traits, including muscle, PAP, and foot quality. Breed with DIGNITY and power this breeding season!
29AN2256 TRUE GRIT
The next top Angus bull is the up-and-coming sire, TRUE GRIT. If you haven’t heard his name before, you should add him to your radar. He’s a TRUE NORTH son, but TRUE GRIT does some things differently than his sire. His progeny offer a little more extension and attractiveness upfront and are really long-sided. Calving ease and kind are for real in this sire. Have maternal fortitude and determination with TRUE GRIT!
29 HP0965 PILOT
PILOT is our only top Hereford bull to highlight today, but boy, he is a good one! He is a future 4-star calving ease prospect with top 5 percent Birth Weight and Calving Ease Direct EPDs. It starts at the ground. If you see the bull in person, you will love his feet, his structure, and the balance and look he offers. He delivers an abundance of calving ease and carcass merit while still being anchored to extraordinary cow power. PILOT has the pedigree, the data, and the phenotype to propel your herd forward. He’s the new era of calving ease genetics!
